Hi, On a windows 2008 R2 server I have an issue with the world wide web publishing service. When I try to restart this service I doesn't restart, it stays in a stopping state. I have reinstalled IIS on the machine but that didn't help. Can anyone give me some tips on how to troubleshoot this kind of problem? How could I find out what is blocking the service from restarting? Thanks for the help. Best regards, Jurgen
