Genius. This has saved me a stack of time.
EDIT: OK, I have a massive problem with my IIS7 console now. Now that the shared (and subsequently unshared) config is loaded (or attempting to be loaded), it asked me to install a number of components for administration, which I thought was fine (I’m migrating from one DC to another before decommissioning the old DC, both running IIS7 on Server 08 – old one x86, new one x64). Now the Management Console’s gone kaput and my Event Log is filled with “Could not find file or assembly Microsoft.Web.Management.xxx” several dozen times over. Am uninstalling and reinstalling IIS Management Console but it’s no consolation (ha ha).

I am facing a serious problem after I imported the shared configuration. I browse all the websites via IIS 7 after I update binding, but I got “HTTP Error 503 – Service unavailable”. I used to create and run websites smoothly before importing configuration, Is there a way to fix this problem or at least return to the original state of IIS

How do I fix this? I’ve already reset the pwd in the app pool and the continues to give me the 503. pls pls help

Define “Still broken.”

I do this all of the time and it always works.

As for the 503 – That’s caused by a crashed or stopped application pool. Make sure your application pool identities are correct…if they still crash, reset the passwords in the IIS config on the app pools.
