Hi,

we have problem with services on Win2000 Server. We have large number of
servers with same configuration and HW. Sometimes after server is
rebooted, service IIS Admin fail to start. On IIS Admin depends a lot of
other services which also fail. In logfile is this error message

EventID 7009: Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the IIS Admin
Service service to connect.

When I try to start IIS Admin manualy this error appears:

Could not start the IIS Admin service on local computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion

In this time (after reboot) I can't manage any other services. I can't
stop, start, reboot any service. I also can't install hotfixes
(installation stops on "Inspecting computer..." state). We use autoexnt
service for some other operations with services after reboot. This service
is in state "stopping" and doesn't respond.

The problem appears on Windows2000 Server with SP2 and also with SP4. I
can't find where is problem. I know only one temporary solution: Restart
server so often(usually 3 times), when all services start correctly. But
when server is then rebooted again, the problem appeaes sometimes again.

Thank you for your help.
