SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Server Foundation Wizard and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) may stop responding (hang) when you try to create a site foundation on an Application Center 2000 Cluster Controller.
CAUSE
The Application Center 2000 Replication process (Acsrepl.exe) registers with the metabase for metabase change notification. The Site Server 3.0 Commerce Server Foundation Wizard adds values to the metabase that result in a notification in the Acsrepl.exe process. The Commerce Server Foundation Wizard waits for a response from the Acsrepl process before it continues. However, the Acsrepl process does not return promptly from the sink notification because it is blocking on an attempt to instantiate the IIS Admin Base Object.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to Application Center 2000 Service Pack (SP) 1. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
