  Re: how to deal with the error"failed to access IIS metabase" Reply Contact Why starts a new thread ? http://forums.iis.net/p/1115525/1733837.aspx Many able to fix the error by running the suggested command, not sure why it didn't works for you. now, did you run it in both 1.1. and 2.0 framework folders? how about retry the steps here: We followed below steps to resolve the issue - 1. Unregistered all the versions of ASP.NET with command "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis –ua". 2. Deleted the ASPNET account from "Local Users and Group – Users". 3. Then registered ASP.NET 2.0 with IIS using "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis –i". 4. Gave permissions to the ASPNET account using "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis –ga machinename\ASPNET". 5. Reset the IIS and that resolved the issue for ASP.NET 2.0. 6. We registered ASP.NET 1.1 with IIS as well using command "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis –i". 7. Reset the IIS. Cheers, Bernard Cheah
