The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A)

 The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A)



The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A) – You may meet this error when IIS Admin Service was thrown away after restoring a Windows Server or just after DSKCHK (disk check) OR For any reason like windows update.
I decided to write this tutorial when it happens to lose my IIS Admin server. What happened was that one Windows server was attacked by a virus and I had to restore it from a recent backup. In the backup procedure there is DSKCHK part and then the image is saved.


I saw the DSKCHK processes running, and something got wrong on the NTFS volume During the ‘repair’ process (as you probably know) a number of files may become corrupt, and the Metabase.xml – the core of the IIS Admin service â€“ was damaged.
Now, since the backup itself is damaged, the only way of resolving the IIS Admin Service service terminatederror is to use the files that Windows stores itself.
The next image is the key to the issue resolution:




On your server Under C:\\Windows\\System32\\Inetsrv ™ and you\”ll find folder called \”History\” folder. Hopefully inside you will recent backups of the Metabase.XML and MBSchema.XML files. Before continuing with the next steps make sure you have backups of the existing Metabase.xml and MBSchema.xml from C:\\Windows\\System32\\Inetsrv first!



The next step will be to rename the most recent Metabase.XML file, and then the most recent MBSchema.XML file. Copy and paste each of these to the C:\\Windows\\System32\\Inetsrv ™ folder (one folder up).
The last step is to reset the IIS service so go click on Start -> Run ->™ type there cmd ™ and then a IISRESET™ in the command prompt.


  1. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>iisreset

  3. Attempting stop…
  4. Internet services successfully stopped
  5. Attempting start…
  6. Internet services successfully restarted


It worked for me, and I hope it will work for you to resolve this error: The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2149648394 (0x8021080A).

Calculate how much data can be transferred in 24 hours based on link speed in data center

  In case you are planning for migration via DIA or IPVPN link and as example you have 200Mb stable speed so you could calculate using the below formula. (( 200Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 = 2TB /per day In case you have different speed you could replace the 200Mb by any rate to calculate as example below. (( 5 00Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 =  5.15TB  /per day So approximate each 100Mb would allow around 1TB per day.

Recreating a VMFS-3 or VMFS-5 partition table in ESXi 5.x

For this kind of issues you need to engage VMware support on this, following any part of this article could lead to more complex situation if not ran by an expert.   Symptoms Datastore does not mount because of a lost or overwritten partition table.   Purpose When a VMFS partition is created in ESX 3.x or ESX 4.x, it has a Master Boot Record (MBR) partition map. The MBR is written to the first 512 B block (LBA0) and contains the information where the (VMFS) partition starts and ends. ESXi 5.0 introduced VMFS-5, which uses a GUID partition table (GPT) for new datastores. When a VMFS-3 partition is created in ESXi 5.x and is later updated to VMFS-5, the original partition map (MBR) is maintained. If the partition information of a VMFS datastore is deleted or overwritten (for example, by a Windows system with direct access to the same disks), it is impossible to determine if the partition map was GPT or MBR. The only time you can be sure that a GPT partition map was used is if th...

How to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director

  How to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director Yesterday I was in a call with a customer and we discussed uploading OVA’s into Cloud Director. I said sure that is no problem at all. Well then I started thinking how are you supposed to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director because I do not even remember how this is done. So I opened up Cloud Director and tried it for myself. I decided to make this blog post along the way to show you how to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director. As an added bonus I will also show you how to upload an OVA to the catalog. This way I can deploy the OVA over and over again. Environment information Cloud director 10.3 OVA How to deploy an OVA in Cloud Director In Cloud director I opened up the Applications section and selected “NEW” I am deploying an OVA so I selected “Add vApp From OVF”. In the screenshot below you can see all the steps involved with (in my case) deploying and customising the Usagemeter. Options to customise are for instance: Network settings, vApp naming...
