Event Type: Warning

The registry key for IIS subauthenticator is not configured correctly on local machine, the anonymous password sync feature is disabled.

Mmm. most of the user resolved this by setting it to false. Have you try restart IIS services after issuing the command ? don't think you need that. anyway give it a try.

If same error, try delete the metabase key then.
adsutil.vbs delete w3svc/AnonymousPasswordSync

by default the key doesn't exist and you don't need it if you don't plan to configure IIS to control anonymous password.

is this box upgraded from w2k ? If yes, there could be other path with the metabase key. Get the metabase explorer from the IIS6 reskit and search for it. It could be under some other w3svc/X web site, msftpsvc, smtpsvc, etc.

In that case, I have not seen such issue before, what so special about this box? do you have other IIS box? same error ?

Take a look here

There are many locations that the key might exist. Also if there's no sensitive information and you have got all default setup can you PM me and send me the metabase? I will take a look and put it my box to test if possible.
