FIX: Error message in Internet Information Services 6.0 when you use the Active Directory Service Interfaces to enumerate the metabase properties of a virtual directory: "Error 0x80005008"

In Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, you use the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) to enumerate the metabase properties of a virtual directory. If the IPSecurity property in the virtual directory metabase has binary data, you may receive the following error message:A Windows Server 2003-based computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server may also encounter this problem when Internet Protocol security (Ipsec) is set on the [Client Access Server] role.

This problem occurs because of a problem in the CreatePropEntry function of the Active Directory Service Interfaces provider (Adsiis.dll).

To resolve this problem, apply this hotfix to all computers that are running Exchange Server when you log on as a member of the Administrators group.
