When you choose Manage Server from the Start button, the Administrative
Console may not appear and the following error is generated and presented
in a Microsoft Internet Explorer dialog box:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://localhost/admin/default.asp. A connection with the server could
not be established.
CAUSE
This error can occur if the World Wide Web (WWW) Publishing Service is not
started or has encountered a problem which may cause it to stop responding
(hang).
RESOLUTION
If the WWW Publishing Service status is shown as running in the
Control Panel Services tool or on the Internet Service Manager, cycle the
service by stopping and restarting it. Otherwise, start the service if it
is stopped.
MORE INFORMATION

service, along with active server pages and Internet Explorer, is
responsible for presenting the Web pages that make up the Administrative
Console. If this service hangs or is stopped, none of the Administrative
Console Web pages are available and the Administrative Console will not
run.
