Restored Windows 2003 Server - IIS would not start

The IIS Admin Service service terminated with service-specific error 2148073483 (0x8009000B).

During a DR Drill when we recovered a Windows 2003 server, IIS would not start. The IIS Admin Service and WWW Service stopped and were giving the above error. To correct this reinstall did not work and it further corrupted everything.

Then we did a restore of SystemState and it resolved the issue.

- Create new Directory Server

*- Here I had an issue that certificate was not accepted. We cannot move forward with out accepting certificate.
" An error occurred trying to acept the certificate. The error is com.sun.directory.dcc.ads.ADSContextException."
To resolve this, I had to re-initialize everything using the below commands. This effectively wiped everything,  but I did not have any other choise.
