hi Aaron,
Some of the reasons for "The requested resource is in use"
1. You installed/registered windows scripting components recently
Run-> c:\inetpub\AdminScripts\synciwam.vbs
If you get 'can't find script engine...." error then download and
install latest Windows script 5.5 from Microsoft web
Run -> c:\inetpub\AdminScripts\synciwam.vbs ( again ) and just restart
IIS services ( iisreset /restart )
2. If site is in Medium Protection level it uses COM+ and IWAM account.
a. Launch DCOMCNFG.EXE (from START --> RUN)
b. Click on the Default Properties tab.
c. Under Default Authentication Level, be sure it's set to Connect (most
likely it's on NONE).
d. Under Default Impersonation Level, make sure it's set to Identify.
e. Be sure DCOM is enabled on the machine (the first box should be
checked).
3. Permission problem with IWAM account.
You can install
regmon & filemon from <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.sysinternals.com" target="_blank">www.sysinternals.com</a> and log the details and
see whether any access denied occurs.
4. the oleaut32.dll is unregistered for somereason. Problem occured once
after installing PC Anywhere.
I hope this will help to correct your problem.
Check the event log and if there is any error, search the event id at
