MOSS SP1 Update / Installation crashes IIS mmc or it does not appear!

All MOSS'ers! Did you recently face this issue following an installation/update of MOSS 2007 with SP1: "The IIS manager or well known as the inetmgr mmc does not show up or is blank". This issue might have occured if you have recently patched up the MOSS WF, APP with updates or can occur abrubtly. You may also notice that it takes a fairly longer time for the IIS administration to show up - but it's blank!

Investigation:
Upon investigation, you may see a repeated error in the Application log event viewer on the SharePoint WF servers. These errors usually include one of the following three events:
- Event ID 6398
- Event ID 6482
- Event ID 7076

Resolution:
From the word go, you can start rectifying the issue by stopping and restarting the OWSTimer ["Windows SharePoint Timer Service"] that runs on any of your servers in the farm or on your single server installation. You do not necessarily need to restart your server or any other service if you need to do this. I will post more on this issue if needed.

However, Microsoft now has a hotfix to rectify this problem! You can click here to download it...
Though you wouldn't be much impressed with it!

Let me know if it worked for you?
