Do you have a backup of the metabase? The easiest way to recover from this
error, is to restore from a backup.

This error happens because IIS attempts to decrypt certain keys in the
Metabase (usually passwords) when starting the IIS Admin Service and uses a
MachineKey under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys to do this. If these keys are
missing or corrupted, you will get this error.

Dear Jacq,

didn't receive anymore ans from U.

Thanks anyway.
