How to fix Blank IIS

From time to time I came across SharePoint farms that have a blank IIS server, in some cases the IIS MMC stops responding at all. Those errors accompany by event log errors:
o Event ID 6398
o Event ID 6482
o Event ID 7076

My first action is to reset the IIS – this fix the problem for a short while…

To fix this errors permanently we need to install the appropriate hotfix and restart the server. If you have multiple servers farm, the hotfix must be apply on all servers

IIS not responding

From time to time I came in to a problem in IIS server that hosted MOSS & WSS web sites – the IIS console (IIS 6 manager) is blank and/or Content Deployment schedules don’t work. Restart of IIS is required to resolve the problem (or not). Usually I find in the event viewer the following events: 6398, 6482, 7076, 5325, 4958

Microsoft kb 946517 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946517 provides a Hot fix that fix's the problem.

Moss Version Numbers

To find your SharePoint version (The version that you currently have), you need to enter the Site Setting. In the middle of the screen you can see the version No’.

Note that if you have more than one server in the farm, you need to match the version number on all the servers. Every service pack, update or hotfix that you install mast be applied on all the farms.
