| Event Information | According to Microsoft: CAUSE: This behavior occurs because CDOSYS queries the Internet Information metabase during initialization of its objects to obtain default values. Querying the metabase causes the IIS Admin service to start. Note: Any component or service that tries to query the metabase causes the IIS Admin service to start. These symptoms are not specific to CDOSYS. Steps to Reproduce the Behavior: 1. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop, and then click Manage. 2. In the left pane of the Computer Management window, expand Services and Applications, and then click Services. 3. In the right pane of the Computer Management window, click IIS Admin Service. 4. In Windows XP, click IIS Admin. 5. Click the Stop Service button on the toolbar. Answer "Yes" if you are warned about stopping other services. 6. Open Notepad. Paste the following code into Notepad, and then save it to the desktop as the CDOTest.vbs file. Send by connecting to port 25 of the SMTP server. 7. Double-click the CDOTest.vbs file on your desktop. The script executes, and a dialog appears that says "Mail Sent!". 8. Check the status of the IIS Admin Service in the Computer Management window. It should be started.
