Why do I receive the error “Connection to IIS Base Admin COM object could not be established” when I try to scan IIS?
This error can appear when the version of IIS being scanned (on the target computer) is a higher version than on the computer that is running MBSA. This may also indicate that the IIS Common Files are not installed on the computer initiating the scan. If error code 0x80070005 or error code 0x8007007e is returned, it indicates access was denied by the remote IIS computer. This can occur when a remote computer running IIS is authenticated to via net use and scanned; and since the net use connection does not provide authorization for IIS administration, attempts to connect to the remote IIS computer fail with “access denied.” For more information, please see the Systems Requirements section in the Readme.html file (installed with MBSA) or in MBSA Help (linked to in the left hand pane of the MBSA console). Note that the IIS 6.0 Common Files are required on the local computer when remotely scanning an IIS 6.0 server.
