IIS stopped working in Win2k

[Sir Fredrick]

I applied a patch for a security update last night, and today none of the services are working, SMTP, www server, ftp server.
When I go to control panel -> administration -> IIS
it starts but gives the following error:

Error connecting to supersucker:

Unexpected error 0x80074002 occured.

click ok, IIS comes up but there is nothing in it.

If I try to connect to localhost, I get:

Error connecting to host:

Unable to connect to target machine.


event viewer shows a few errors:

the FTP service hung on starting

The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service hung on starting.

The FTP Publishing Service service terminated with the following error:
The data area passed to a system call is too small.

The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service terminated with the following error:
The data area passed to a system call is too small.

The FTP Publishing Service service terminated with the following error:
The data area passed to a system call is too small.

DCOM got error "The service database is locked. " attempting to start the service netman with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{BA126AD1-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}


I have no idea what's up with this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since the service won't start, the obvious thing to do in my opinion is to:

1. enter the error into MS's support.microsoft.com
2. uninstall and then reinstall IIS5.

Here is what I found on MS' site.

IIS 5 error

Thanks for the response. Unfortunatley, I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling IIS to no avail. I also uninstalled the hotfix, did not make a difference. I have spent an extensive amount of time searching the microsoft kb, to no avail...

here's a little more info:

C:\>iisreset

Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Restart attempt failed.
IIS Admin Service is disabled


I don't know why it says IIS admin service is disabled, because under services it is enabled and running. bah.
