2. Note the password that's returned. The password is case sensitive

3. Set the new password in the IIS metabase. From a command prompt, type the following command: c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil SET w3svc/WAMUserPass Password where Password is the one set for the IWAM_computer account in the Windows Active Directory.

4. Once the password is changed you will see the new password as below:

   WAMUserPass: (String) "Password"

       5. Reset IIS and then install the ‘MSMQ HTTP support’. 'MSMQ HTTP support’ feature will be installed successfully.
