Hi VistaUser,

Which versions of IIS does Test Director support as Bernard said? Could you show me the home page of Test Director?

If it is not supporting IIS 7.0, you can try installing the IIS 6.0 Metabase Compatibility Layer in "Turn Windows Features on or off" in Vista. Here is the location: 

• Internet Information Services
  • Web Management Tools
    • IIS 6 Management Compatibility
      • IIS 6 WMI Compatibility
      • IIS Metabase & IIS 6 configuration compatibility

This component is not installed by default, because IIS 7.0 itself is not using it. This component intercepts all method calls to metabase and maps the method calls to the new system in IIS 7.

You can refer to this article for more details:

Hope it helps.
