I think the problem may be with the priviliges of the NT user (ISSUSER_something?) that the web server runs in. AFAIK this is set to guest priviliges only. If so, this user can not access most of the NT services.

Check the NT userid that's used for the Web Server in User Admin. Even better, logon as that user and try running some services to see what happens.
