Sounds like the classic issue where some IIS configuration is set in the
MMC, but inetinfo.exe is crashed by some code before it could commit those
changes to the metabase.bin on disk -- hence, you lose the settings. NT
Services will restart inetinfo.exe, but your configuration would be lost.
It's like if you typed something in Word, then Word crashed before you hit
"Save", and when you restarted Word, you've lost what you just typed.
How to solve this is two-fold:
1. Make sure your changes make it to disk. IIS5 had a queuing mechanism for
metabase changes that doesn't flush changes immediately to disk, so you can
commit the changes only by restarting IISADMIN service.
2. Figure out what is crashing inetinfo.exe and stop that from happening
again.
With IIS, this is addressed by:
1. Adding a "Save configuration to disk" option in the MMC such that you can
force the save to happen immediately
2. User code does not run in inetinfo.exe by default, so crashes are rare,
if ever

Hello All:
I have a weird problem- after adding a new web site via the MMC to the
server, it adds fine, runs OK but then at some point it just disappears
from the MMC/Metabase like it was never added.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be occurring and how to
solve this?
Thanks!
Jason
