Must Copy Internet Information ServicesThe Internet Information Services (IIS) security database must be copied in order for IIS to run correctly. Internet Information Services (IIS) provides web services on Windows. A key part of IIS is its security database, sometimes called the “metabase”. The security database contains a list of security settings for IIS. Some parts of the security database are encrypted. The encryption key is tied to Active Directory. The IIS metabase must have a matching encryption key. If the encryption key does not match, the IISAdmin service will fail to start and will report error message “Access Denied”. How To Fix This ErrorThe only time you can skip moving the IIS security database is when the encryption key is unchanged. (For example, when restoring AD on the same computer.) The procedure to fix this error depends on whether or not the source computer had IIS installed. (See below.) Procedure 1: The source computer did not have IIS installedIf the source computer did not have IIS installed, there is no encryption key to copy. In this case you must uninstall IIS from the destination computer. (You can re-install it later.) Use the following procedure.
After moving Active Directory you can re-install IIS. Procedure 2: Turn on the Advanced Option to copy the IIS security settingsTo turn on the Advanced Option to copy the IIS security settings. Use the following procedure:
To avoid this error, UMove will turn on the Advanced Option for IIS by default. For more information |
