My guess is that you need to be an administrator in order to change the IIS
metabase. That is normally required.

Did you consider changing the Application Pool identity to an administrator
account? That should accomplish your goal, at least for testing purposes.

However, you may not wish to solve the problem that way. Running your app
pool as administrator opens you up to some significant security risks. You
may wish to put the IIS ADSI code in a COM+ component and run that under a
separate identity with admin privileges. This would allow your main web
application process to continue running with least privileges (as NETWORK
SERVICE).
