CreateVirtualDirectory Error
On a SCCM 2007 Sp1 testenvironment running on Windows Server 2008 (IIS 7), I had an Issue where SCCM was unable to create the virtual directory on IIS for a BITS enabled DP..
The Error in Distmgr.log:
..

The Reason was: The "IIS 6 WMI Compatibility" Role was not installed on IIS7...
Installing the missing part and restarting the server has fixed the Issue....
