2000 to 2003 upgrade breaks my IIS

[Guest zooeyhallne]

Hi Everyone! I hope someone can give me some advice on an IIS issue that

happened with a 2000 to 2003 server upgrade.

 

I had several websites running on my 2000 server, and everything working

fine. Then, I did an in-place upgrade to 2003 server (std) and now my

websites will not work. The client brings up an http 500 error when it tries

to go to the page, and the server logs an error: "Event ID 10004 DCOM got

error Logon failure: unknown username or bad password and was unable to logn

\IWAM_computername in order to run the server".

 

I did some checking on this error, and confirmed that IWAM_computername has

logon as batch job right in the local profile, and is also in the IIS_WPG

group on the server. I have checked and web services is running.

 

The server is a member server in a domain.

 

I have installed the latest service packs.

 

Everything else went ok with the upgrade.

 

Can someone point me in a direction that helps me solve this problem?

Thanks very much for any help!

Got my problem fixed! I had to go into IIS manager and turn off "run www in

IIS 5.0 isolation mode".

 

Which leads to a second question: is it ok and safe to turn this off?
