Workaround for these errors:

On TechNet forum “Tommy” has given a workaround to stop getting these errors and get the IIS settings in EMC, thanks to him to share this with us.

On Windows 2003/XP machine –> Go to Start –> Run –> dcomcnfg

Component Services –> Computers –> My Computer –> Properties

Default Properties –> in Default Impersonation Level: set Identify to Impersonate –> Apply – OK

Edit (08/07/08): After changing this DCOM configuration you need to reboot the XP/2003 system to make it effective. Thanks to Andy Grogan for this update.
