Unable to manage remote IIS servers from MMC

Recently I've been unable to manage IIS from mmc (right click My Computer
and select manage) for remote machines only. I can connect to the remote
machine and view event logs and other data but on clicking the services and
applications node I'm informed "Error connecting to brk-web-svr-002.
Unexpected error 0x8007011c. Do you wish to attempt to connect in future?"
and given the choices yes or no. I can then access all services but the IIS
section does not appear.
This occurs for all remote machines although I can manage my local IIS
service and manage the servers from other machines. It used
to work a few weeks back but I regularly do windows update so that may have
broken it.

The servers are all on the company domain as am I, either lan or wan. I can
ping them, view them in Network Neighborhood and use shares on them. I can
VNC onto them which is what I'm having to do at the moment. I'm a member of
Domain Admins.

Thank you all

Joe

Thanks so much. I promised I searched on Google but did not find the article
you mentioned. As to why it stopped working after it worked before I still
don't know. I recently installed VS.Net 2003 so maybe that did something?

Thanks again

Joe

The MMC requires in Windows 2000 IIS to have DCom enabled on the client.
Otherwise, and error will occur when connecting.

The minimum permissions for dcomcnfg is for Local Administrators to have
full
control of HKEY\CLASSESROOT and IUSR and IWAM to have read...
