Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues with accessing database of a specific website.



Let me point you in the right direction to get assistance, I would suggest you to post your query on TechNet forums, where we have expertise and support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge to assist you with your query.



However, based on my research you can try enabling the IIS and see if that helps.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’
   
2. In Run dialog box, type ‘appwiz.cpl’ and hit enter.
   
3. On the upper left corner select Turn Windows Features on or off.
   
4. Look for Internet Information Service (IIS) and check the box next to it
   
5. Click on OK.
   
6. Restart the PC.

The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

That is usually (but not always) a transient error. Sometimes you may also see an accompanying errorcode (0x8007139f).



If you reboot the computer that should fix it though some users report a manual update of Windows Defender may also be needed



If the issue continues, suggest you post back with more detailed information.

Hi Jay,

   Run as administrator.
