All websites in IIS stopping spontaneously

Ten times over the past week, all of my websites (50 to 60) have been
stopped. There is no indication in Event Viewer that explains why - just a
report of the stoppages as follows:

The World Wide Web Publishing Service service terminated unexpectedly. It
has done this 6 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0
milliseconds: No action. (event ID = 7031, source=service control manager)

The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) service terminated unexpectedly.
It has done this 5 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in
0 milliseconds: No action.

The IIS Admin Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6
time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No
action.

There is nothing in the application event log or system event log that gives
any indication as to why this is happening.

Can anyone give me any insight into what might be causing this? What
application has the priviledge to stop websites? I'm running Win2K. Thanks.

Re: All websites in IIS stopping spontaneously

If these services are teminating unexpectedly, they are probably crashing
(or the IIS Admin service is crashing, and taking the rest down).

You may wish to attach IISState debug tool to the inetinfo.exe process. That
might give us some idea of what is causing inetinfo.exe to crash:
