First, are you using the IIS webserver on your machine ?
If not, uninstall it in A/R Programs - Windows Components
within the networking options. It is just a vulnerability if
you are not using it and tending its security needs.
IISAdmin is the base services upon which all other parts
of an IIS install depend. Usually there is an account named
IIS_machinename used for anonymous browsers to webs on
the IIS webserver. Is your machine named XP ?
Are you sure the account does not exist? It will be masked
from displaying in some of the user interfaces.
At a cmd prompt try
net users
to see if it is listed.
If it is and you do want to run IIS then by your cited msgs
you need to enable it. However, before doing so, secure your
IIS - at a minimum by installing IIS Lockdown tool and then
updating URLscan to 2.5. You can find all of these by going
to the IIS security/checklist at microsoft.com/technet/security
An account can be enabled with
net user IUSR_XP /active:yes
or in advanced user interfaces like lusrmgr.msc
