Local activation permissin to the IIS WAMREG Admin Service required

[prash_mate]

The BPA of SBS 2008 is giving out some problems that says "Local activation permissin to the IIS WAMREG Admin Service required: The Network Service is missing local activation permissions to the IIS WAMREG admin Service in accordance with the event ID 10016 in the system event log. For more information, see KB "Event ID error messages 10016 and 10017 are logged in the System log after you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0" at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=128063." I have followed the article but still am getting the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

You can follow the below steps to fix this issue:

1. From the SBS console, click Administrative Tools > Component Services (or, if you prefer: click Run > comexp.msc)
2. Expand down Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config
3. Right click on IIS WAMREG Admin Service, then click Properties
4. Click on the Security tab
5. Click the Edit... button within the Launch and Activation Permissions section
6. Click Add and add the user named: 'Network Service'
7. (NB: this is the step that confuses people. Most instructions simply tell you to add the appropriate user, but do not make it clear which user to add!)
8. Click on the checkbox to Allow (enable) the Local Activation rights option for this user
9. Click OK twice, and close Component Services
10. Finally reboot the server for good measure and to ensure the change takes effect
