Depending on your configuration, it is probably normal. As I explain below,
the issue isn't really with IIS/Windows.

Unknown to you, you are running some code SOMEWHERE that queried for IIS
configuration and that action triggered the IISADMIN service to start. This
code is running as either LocalSystem or with Administrative privileges
(only way for it to auto-trigger IISADMIN service to start since IIS
interfaces are accessible only by those accounts).

Some of the in-box services that can do this include FTP, WWW, SMTP, NNTP,
Indexing Service, Remote Printing Service, and Phonebook Service.

There may be others, including 3rd party software, that can do this.

You will have to figure out what code is triggering IISADMIN to start like
that and stop that code from doing so.

Another way to go about it is if you DISABLE the IISADMIN Service and see
what software/services complain/fail-to-start.

Got IIS installed (sucessfully)... all is well.
Configured ALL IIS related services to start MANUALLY, i.e. NOT automatic.
ALL services (FTP,WWW,SMTP) except for the IIS service are behaving.
After bootup, IIS shows "starting..." eventhough it is configured to MANUAL.
???
Is this normal?
