ADSI Scripts Do Not Work Between Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 Computers

• Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
• Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to use ADSI scripts on a computer running Windows 2000 to manage IIS on a computer running Windows NT 4.0, or if try to manage IIS on a Windows 2000 computer from a Windows NT 4.0 computer, the following error messages may occur:

• From a Windows 2000 computer to a Windows NT 4.0 computer:

  0x800CC810 (MD_ERROR_IISAO_INVALID_SCHEMA)

• From a Windows NT 4.0 computer to a Windows 2000 computer:

  0x80070003 (ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND)

CAUSE

Full ADSI management of IIS between different versions of Windows is not fully implemented. The errors are primarily caused by metabase-schema differences between Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
