"inetpub" folder Gets created in 2 system Drives
We had a scenario while working with one of the customers that when we try to install IIS 8.5 and notice that it creates "inetpub" folder in 2 Drives namely C: drive ( by default ) and additionally it creates on F: drive also.
when this happens we see WAS and WWW service throws below error when we try to start them.
Resolution
=====================================================
We noticed changes done in Registry : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\InetStp
we took registry backup and looked under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\InetStp
we found a FTPROOT config which was pointing to – F:/inetpub
- we changed it to C:/inetpub
and rebooted the box and installed IIS it worked fine
