Domain Controller Demotion Causes Out-of-Process Applications to Fail

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you demote a domain controller that is being used as an Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 computer, all applications marked with Application Protection: High (isolated) will fail. The following is an example of an error message that may occur in the Event Viewer's application log:
DCOM got error "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. " and was unable to logon .\IWAM_servername in order to run the server:
{3D14228D-FBE1-11D0-995D-00C04FD919C1}

Cause

The IWAM_servername is removed and recreated when the server's demotion occurs. The passwords for the COM+ packages are no longer synchronized with the password for the IWAM_server account.
