Hello all, Just installed Exchange 07 SP1 on a Windows 2008 server. The mail seems to work fine. Client using Outlook connects, send-receive mail. Public folders accessable... BUT. When I start the Exchange Management Console I get a box with 3 error messages. Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory An error occured while trying to access IIS(Internet Information Service) metabase. Make sure the Internet Information Service Manager component is installed and configured properly. Unknown error 0x80005000 The same error is listed for Get-OabVirtualDirectory and Get-OWAVirtualDirecotry. Needless to say my OWA doesn't work either. IIS is running Other pages work. If I try to get to the OWA I get: Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Exchange.Data, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant permission to execute. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131418) I have been all over security and everthing else. What am I missing???? :( John
