I'm getting 500-Internal server error while using IIS.
What could be the possible reasons.

When users try to access content on a server that is running Internet Information Services (IIS) through HTTP or File Transfer Protocol (FTP), IIS returns a numeric code that indicates the status of the request. This status code is recorded in the IIS log, and it may also be displayed in the Web browser or FTP client. The status code can indicate whether a particular request is successful or unsuccessful and can also reveal the exact reason why a request is unsuccessful.

For which server side scripting language(asp,php..), you get that error?
The possible reason could be you haven't configred that language correctly in ur server.

C:\Documents and Settings\a>aspnet_regiis.exe /i
'aspnet_regiis.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Okay, I figured it out in the end:

1. Uninstall IIS.
2. run "msdtc.exe -uninstall" in the windows/system32 directory.
3. In regedit delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC
4. run "msdtc.exe -install" in the windows/system32 directory.
5. Install IIS.
