SYMPTOMS
When you demote a domain controller that is being used as an Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 computer, all applications marked with Application Protection: High (isolated) will fail. The following is an example of an error message that may occur in the Event Viewer's application log:

DCOM got error "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. " and was unable to logon .\IWAM_servername in order to run the server:

{3D14228D-FBE1-11D0-995D-00C04FD919C1}



CAUSE
The IWAM_servername is removed and recreated when the server's demotion occurs. The passwords for the COM+ packages are no longer synchronized with the password for the IWAM_server account.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, open a command prompt and go to the \Inetpub\Adminscripts directory. Run the Synciwam.vbs script.

Example:

cscript synciwam.vbs



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0.
