STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information
Server version 4.0.
This problem was first corrected in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.0 and Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 4.MORE INFORMATION
Previous versions of IIS use the Windows registry rather than the
metabase. When the W3svc service is started in IIS 4.0, it checks the
registry for settings used by IIS 4.0, and then migrates them to the
metabase, which causes duplicate entries in the script map list.
