This article was previously published under Q157507



SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Internet News service will not start if a virtual root is not defined, has been corrupted, or if a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path defined in the virtual root is unavailable on the network.



RESOLUTION
Remove and reinstall the Internet News Server (INS).



MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs when you do the following:


 * 1) Start the INS service, and remove all virtual roots, or set the virtual roots to a directory that does not exist.
 * 2) Stop the service and attempt to restart.

The service will not start.

You have no way to configure a virtual root, because Internet Service Manager (ISM) only works when the service is running.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Commercial Internet System, version 1.0.
