I'm pretty new at SCCM and about 4 months ago inherited this responsibility. Last week I noticed I was getting errors on my primary site in the SMS_MP_Control_Manager: SMS Site Component Manager failed to reinstall this component on this site system. Solution: Review the previous status messages to determine the exact reason for the failure. SMS Site Component Manager will automatically retry the reinstallation in 60 minutes. To force SMS Site Component Manager to immediately retry the reinstallation, stop and restart SMS Site Component Manager using the SMS Service Manager. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Control Manager detected MPsetup has failed to create the CCM_Incoming Virtual Directory. Possible cause: The IIS IWAM account has expired, been disabled, or has invalid or too restrictive logon hours. You may verify this information by running the net user command line for the IWAM account. (i.e.: "net user IWAMMachineName) Solution: Use the output to verify that the account is enabled, and logon is possible during the time of installation. Note: You can use "net user" to modify the account properties. Possible cause: The IIS IUSR account has expired, been disabled, or has invalid or too restrictive logon hours.

Solution: Verify that the designated Web Site is enabled, and functioning properly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are running Server 2008 sp2 with IIS7. I did as much research as I could with my limited knowledge and found that in IIS Manager when I try to open BITS I get the error message: BITS server was unable to read from the IIS Meta-base as it is corrupt. The settings for this virtual directory have been reset to the BITS defaults. Parameter count mismatch. At this point none of the updates are getting pushed and I getting errors from all the secondary's because of this. I am leaning towards reinstalling BITS but need to do more research since I am not sure exactly what that will involve. Thanks

Hopefully someone else will have an easier suggestion, but it might not be a bad idea to reinstall IIS in your case since the error says the IIS metabase is corrupt. If you do that, follow the guidelines in this doc:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspxDo you have another site system that you can make the default MP while you troubleshoot this?-Karl M

Hi,Can you check that the IIS configuration is still as requierd for ConfigMgr:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspxCan you check the MPsetup.log for more information?Follow me through my blog and Twitter!

Here is a chunk from mpsetup.log. I am going to check the IIS config shortly and as far as the site system, we do not have anything to switch to. <03-03-2010 10:26:53> mp.msi exited with return code: 1603 <03-03-2010 10:26:53> Backing up d:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\logs\mpMSI.log to d:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\logs\mpMSI.log.LastError <03-03-2010 10:26:53> Fatal MSI Error - mp.msi could not be installed. <03-03-2010 10:27:01> ==================================================================== <03-03-2010 10:27:01> SMSMP Setup Started.... <03-03-2010 10:27:01> Parameters: D:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\bin\i386\ROLESE~1.EXE /install /siteserver:CNXSCCM SMSMP <03-03-2010 10:27:01> Installing Pre Reqs for SMSMP <03-03-2010 10:27:01> ======== Installing Pre Reqs for Role SMSMP ======== <03-03-2010 10:27:01> Found 1 Pre Reqs for Role SMSMP <03-03-2010 10:27:01> Pre Req MSXML60 found. <03-03-2010 10:27:01> No versions of MSXML60 are installed.

That part of the logfile does not contain any errors. Is there an error logged after that part?

Did you see " Fatal MSI Error - mp.msi could not be installed. " 4 lines down? That is the same error in the log over and over.

Yeah, it goes through that same 'chunk' of code over and over every 5 minutes or so. I tried installing mp.msi manually and received this error while it was creating IIS virtual directories. Setup was unable to create the Internet virtual directory CCM_Incoming. The error code is 800CC801

I think I fixed it. I reinstalled the bits server role and then ran mp.msi. Everything seems to be functioning now. Thanks for the help.

Hello, I have a somewhat similar issue. Clients can't send inventory to the CCM_Incoming virtual directory. When I try to open BITS in IIS Manager I get the same error (BITS server was unable to read from the IIS Meta-base). Just to be sure how you solved it... Did you uninstall and reinstall IIS Server Extension (subcomponent of BITS), or the full BITS feature?

I uninstalled IIS Server Extension, rebooted, installed it again and rebooted again. After that I could open the BITS-page in IIS Manager without problems. Then I manually enabled BITS upload on the CCM_Incoming virtual directory, and clients started to send inventory again. I suppose reinstalling the MP would perform that last action.
