After promoting the Packager Server into a Domain Controller, IIS security settings and account were changed.
Resolution
Check the security settings for the Windows NTFS ACLs. To ensure the correct access permissions, see Microsoft KB 332097 at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=332097.
Reset AD\IUSR_%computername% password to match the stored password for this account in the IIS Metabase. If you are using anonymous authentication, it's likely that your IUSR account is out of sync with the metabase and AD. You will need to download MBExplorer from the IIS resource kit tools. Use that to get the password for the IUSR account. Then reset the password in AD.
