w3svc won't start on small business server

w3svc won't start on my SBS 2003 machine with all the SP1 updates and all
critical updates applied (Critical updates were added about 1 week before
this problem started.


I have determined that the MBschema.xml file is corrupt (I am familiare with
tags).

All of the copies in the history folder are also crorrupt. The metadata
folder contains the original file of a bit smaller size. I copy that to the
right place and try to start up w3svc again and the service does not start.
The file grows to the same size as the corrupted size again?

Can anyone help? I can't get any response from iisadmin even though the
service is running. Was this caused from an update?


Details below....


Thanks




Check if w3svc service is running No
Check if iisadmin service is running Yes

C:
cd \windows\system32\inetsrv
dir METABASE.xml MBschema.xml history metaback

notepad METABASE.xml
notepad MBschema.xml

line 211 of MBschema.xml is corrupt for sure

cd history (look at automatic iis backups)
All automatic backups are also corrupt
check whether the nodes "W3SVC" and "W3SVC/1" exist in your current
metabase.xml. I don’t think the nodes exist
2. Also, on the commandline, run:
CSCRIPT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs enum w3svc/1/root
Does not respond
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv>
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv>
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv>
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv>
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv>CSCRIPT
