IIS internet service manager error connecting to server

Good day to all,

I am having a problem with IIS.
I have installed it from the server CD using the
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, but every time I try to run it I get
the following error.
'Error connecting to Server:
The system cannot find the specified path.
Do you wish to continue to attempt to connect to it in
the future.'

I have it running as the Domain controller and active
directory is running fine. There are no other computers
connected to it yet.

any help would be great.

Generally the message you are seeing is a sign of a corrupted metabase, do
you have a backup of the metabase from a known good working day that you
can restore from?

1. Is this a problem that just recently started to happen? Is so, what has
changed?
2. Can you connect to the problematic server from another server and access
the IIS MMC?
3. Try installing MetaEdit and see if there are any errors when going
through that GUI?
