SYMPTOMS
When you restore a metabase backup in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Management Console, the application names are not restored. This does not affect the functionality of IIS.



WORKAROUND
Do not restore the metabase backup from the IIS Management Console. Instead, follow these steps:  Use the iisreset /stop command to stop IIS. Manually replace the Metabase.bin file with the backup version from \System32\Inetsrv\Metaback. To do this, follow these steps:  Locate the backup file in the \System32\Inetsrv\Metaback folder. By default, the file name format is Backup.mdo. Change the name of this backup file to Metabase.bin, and then copy this file to the \System32\Inetsrv folder to replace the existing file.  Use the iisreset /start command to start IIS again.</ol>
