-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Iissync.exe on an IIS cluster that is running on two Windows 2000
Advanced Server computers, you may receive the following error message:

  Source : 133, scanned, Targets : (133,5), Error replicating to target (Target
  Name): Server Execution Failed error code 2148007941 ( 800800005 )

If you expand Component Services and then expand My Computer in the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC), you may receive the following error message:

  Source : 167, scanned, Targets : (167,0), Error replicating to target (Target
  Name): Class not registered error code 2147746132 ( 80040154 )

Failing over nodes in Cluster Administrator works without error, and you see no
indication of metabase corruption.

CAUSE
=====

A COM+ catalog that is running on the active node of the cluster may be
corrupted.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, repair the COM+ catalog.

  node name" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.

3. In Component Services, expand Component Services, and then expand My
