Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
I have iis installed, but the services

World Wide Web Publishing Service
SMTP
FTP

will not start. They are assigned to start automatically
but do not. When I try to start them, I receive an error
message
"Could not start the World Wide Web Publishing Service
service on the local computer.

ERROR 1008: An attempt was made to reference a token that
does not exist"

I have searched and searched, but have not found a
solution that works.
I changed the name Metabase.bin, to Metabase.old, then
uninstalled, reinstalled iis. Did not work
I uninstalled all of the service packs, then reinstalled.
Did not work.

Any ideas??

A token is simply a user account
did you delete IUSR_computer or IWAM_computer?
did you change anything with these accounts?
Did you change domain controllers for your IIS server?

Last but not least download and run from <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.sysinternals.com" target="_blank">www.sysinternals.com</a> TOKEN monitor.
It will show you *which* token your system is missing...
That tool is pretty straight forward it must help you to solve it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Tried to use the TOKEN monitor. Did not make sense to
me. I did not see where it would show you a token.
Any suggestions?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
