Could not reset IIS, IISAdmin service terminated unexpectedly

Published 31 August 06 03:20 PM | sajoshi 

When I am trying to reset IIS using "iisreset" from Run Commnad Prompt, I get the error saying IISAdmin service couldnot start. To solve this, I went to "services.msc" and tried starting the IISAdmin Service. When trying to start IISAdmin, I get
---------------------------Services Message---------------------------
Windows could not start the IIS Admin Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147417831.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the Eventlog contains following error message:
Event Log:
The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2147549465 (0x80010119).
What Solution I applied:
I killed the process inetinfo.exe from Task Manager and Again run the command "iisreset". It worked.

if inetinfo.exe is not existing then kill all the running processes pertaining to IIS. Like iissrv.exe etc.
