SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) cannot administer Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) through a Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server client.

If you attempt to do so, DCOM error messages appear in the System log when you try to expand the IIS and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) snap-ins. Two error messages appear in the System log:

Event ID: 10100 Source DCOM User: \Administrator The server {A9E69610-B80D-11D0-B9B9-00A0C922E750} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Event ID 10100 Source: DCOM User: \Administrator The server {182C40F0-32E4-11D0-818B-00A0C9231C29} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.



CAUSE
This issue is caused by the IIS server security context and the remote communication mode through the Terminal Server client. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

WORKAROUND
There is no workaround for this issue. IIS is not intended for use on Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, and is not supported. Microsoft recommends that customers running IIS 4.0 on Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, protect their systems by uninstalling IIS 4.0.

This issue does not exist in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Internet Information Services.

CLSID {A9E69610-B80D-11D0-B9B9-00A0C922E750} refers to the IISADMIN object; {182C40F0-32E4-11D0-818B-00A0C9231C29} refers to the MTS Catalog object.
