Cannot Set AppRoot OutProc, MTS Package Identity Set to "Y" (195956)

RESOLUTION

1. Use a GET command to find out what account is being used for the Web Application Manager (WAM) in the metabase (the IIS 4.0 registry). Therefore, an example of http:\\webserver1 would be as follows:

      c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples> adsutil GET w3svc/ 
      WAMUserName
   
      WAMUserName                    : (String) "IWAM_WebServer1"
   					

2. Reset the password for this account in User Manager for Domains:
   1. Open User Manager for Domains by clicking Start and selecting Run. Then type: usrmgr <servername> (for example, usrmgr webserver1).
   2. Locate the account determined in step 1 (usually IWAM_<servername>) and double-click it.
   3. Type a new password (of your choice) in both the Password and Confirm Password fields. For this example, the password is "Password".
3. Set the new password in the metabase. From a command prompt type the following:

         c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\adminsamples> adsutil SET w3svc/ 
         WAMUserPass Password
   
         WAMUserPass                    : (String) "Password"
   					

4. Stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service by using the net stop iisadmin /y command. This will stop all services running under IISAdmin.
5. Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service by using the net start w3svc command. You can also start the other services that run under IISAdmin by using the Internet Service Manager.
6. Remove the package that was created during the first attempt to set the Application Root to run in a separate memory space. Open MMC, and from the Microsoft Transaction Server menu, click Computers, click My Computer, and then click Packages Installed. Select the package from the list, which should look like the following example:

         IIS-{Default Web Site//Root/YourWebSite}
   
   						

   Right-click on the package, click Properties, click Advanced, and clear the Disable deletion check box. Click OK, and then click OK in the warning dialog box that appears. Right-click on your Web site Package, and click Delete.
7. In the MMC, under the Internet Information Server menu, click My Computer (name), click Default Web Site, and select <YourWebSiteName>. Right-click <YourWebSiteName>, and click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click the Virtual Directory (or Directory) tab. In the Application Settings window, create your application again by clicking Create.
8. In the Properties dialog box, select the Run in separate memory space check box and click OK.
