Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 installed on a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.Or, you have IIS 7.5 installed on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Cause

After IIS 7.0 or IIS 7.5 starts, Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) calls the LookupAccountName function to resolve account names on the local system. If no name is succesfully resolved, the LookupAccountName function tries to resolve account names by using domain controllers (DCs) trusted by the local system. Depending on the configuration of the DCs, the LookupAccountName query may take more than 30 seconds to be completed. In this situation, it takes a long time to start WAS. Additionally, W3SVC does not start because W3SVC depends on WAS.

Workaround

To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
  1. Make Sure that Domain Controllers (DCs) can be pinged and accessed by using RPC communication.

    Note The LookupAccountName API uses RPCs to communicate with the DCs.
  2. Manually restart IIS. To do this, perform one of the following operations:
    • Run the following command:
      net start w3svc
    • Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) in the management window of Windows Services.
  3. If there are many DCs, set the LsaLookupRestrictIsolatedNameLevel registry key to 1 to speed up the LookupAccountName query.

    NoteFor more information about how to set the LsaLookupRestrictIsolatedNameLevel registry entry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
