Could not reset IIS, IISAdmin service terminated unexpectedly

When I am trying to reset IIS using "iisreset" from Run Commnad Prompt, I get the error saying IISAdmin service couldnot start. To solve this, I went to "services.msc" and tried starting the IISAdmin Service. When trying to start IISAdmin, I get
---------------------------Services Message---------------------------
Windows could not start the IIS Admin Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2147417831.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the Eventlog contains following error message:
Event Log:
The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2147549465 (0x80010119).
What Solution I applied:
I killed the process inetinfo.exe from Task Manager and Again run the command "iisreset". It worked.
