Hi all, it’s a 2008 box & I am not able to start World Wide Web publishing service. It’s not to do with missing folder as I could easily locate C:\inetpub\temp\appPools folder. The dependencies are Windows Process Activation service, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) & DCOM Server Process Launcher. Of all the 3 only Process Activation service is not running & when I try to run it, I get;
Event Type: Error

The request is not supported.

I tried iisreset /restart & w3svc restart but they both failed. I haven't rebooted the box or applied patch described inhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/975443?wa=wsignin1.0 because I want to be sure that I have covered all steps. It’s a production box so I have to get it fixed without much R&D. Please help?
