COM Error 80070005 when adding a certificate to a website.

[net24]

When adding a certificate to a website I get the following error :

Error: Unable to update hosting preferences: Unable to reconfigure Web server: websrvmng failed: Access is denied. (COM Error 80070005) at configHosting(<thedomainnamebeingupdated>).

When I tried running the websrvmng command as Administrator from the command line I got the same error :

websvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=<thedomainnamebeingupdated>

Access is denied. (COM Error 80070005) at configHosting(<thedomainnamebeingupdated>)

The only recent change that was made to the system was allowing a hosted domain to use DPAPI security to enable encryption of their web.config SQL-connection strings.

Can't see the connection though.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Brett

I suppose I should mention...

that the server is a Windows2003 server running IIS6 with the latest servicepacks.
