We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS
In the Event Viewer logs, multiple instances of the following events occur:

The description for Event ID ( 1003 ) in Source ( IISInfoCtrs ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): (Data is 0x000006b5)

Unable to query the W3SVC (HTTP) service performance data. The error code returned by the service is data DWORD 0. (Data is 0x00000426)

Unable to collect the FTP performance statistics. The error code returned by the service is data DWORD 0. (Data is 0x00000426)

In addition to these events, the IIS Admin service may not be able to be stopped or the Event Viewer may become temporarily locked.



CAUSE
These errors are caused when a server is being analyzed using Performance Monitor and the IIS Admin Service is stopped or restarted, or when the IIS counters are added when the IIS Admin Service is not running.



RESOLUTION
When you analyze a server using Performance Monitor, it is necessary to stop Performance Monitor before stopping or starting the IIS Admin service.



MORE INFORMATION
The IIS counter collection DLL uses the IIS MetaBase (for enumerating server roots and IPC). When you are viewing the counters, the IIS Admin service, which hosts the IIS MetaBase, should not be shut down. It may appear to become locked, even though both the WWW and FTP Publishing services are shut down. In the event, the IIS Admin service is stopped while Performance Monitor is running, and either the IIS Admin service or Event Viewer will appear to become locked. Exit Performance Monitor and stop the IIS Admin service.
