For example, while the MMC was running, the commands "net stop iisadmin" and "net start iisadmin" were issued from a command prompt, or the IIS Administrator Service was stopped and restarted from within Services in Control Panel.



RESOLUTION
When the IIS Administrator Service is stopped and restarted, be sure to also quit and restart the MMC.
