[IIS 6.0] - DefaultAppPool exiting with event ID 1002

[ThePro]

Hi,

Running IIS 6.0 on W2K3 server SP2 DC here.

Since December 11th, so I suspect the cause is this month's "patch tuesday",
the DefaultAppPool is automatically disabled with this error in Event
Viewer:

------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1002
Description:
Application pool 'DefaultAppPool' is being automatically disabled due to a
series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.
------

Before that there is 4 of these:

------
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1009
Description:
A process serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' terminated unexpectedly.
The process id was '1144'. The process exit code was '0xffffffff'.
------

I checked the permissions as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885654/ and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842493/ but it did not solve the issue.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

A re-install of service pack 2 for W2K3 server solved the issue.
