Or maybe the server was configured to auto-login the administrator -- and
since the screensaver defaults to locking, it could explain why you keep
seeing the system locked by the administrator, even across reboots.
Regarding 0x80090006 returned by IIS -- the times I've seen that error, it
has always been catestrophic and requires reinstalling IIS. What happens is
that IIS is not able to use the machine's crypto key to decrypt parts of the
IIS configuration file, rendering it unable to start.
For example, one way to get into this state is if you install IIS, back up
the metabase.xml (IIS configuration file), then run DCPROMO -- a process
which eventually changes the machine's crypto key -- and then you later
restore the old metabase.xml for whatever reason. At this point, the old
file cannot be decrypted with the new key, and IIS returns 0x80090006.
Normally, it is a good idea to keep backup copies of metabase.xml for
restoration purposes... except this instance. You need a new backup after
the DCPROMO.
I don't know if it applies in your situation, but it's something to keep in
mind since you have a DC, IIS6, 0x80090006, and a recent reboot/hang.

I disabled all NAV services and installed the UPHClean service. I'm at least able to log into the console now. However, the IIS Admin service won't start. Many services depend on that service.
