Yes, `ssh administrator@localhost` is equivalent to `su administrator`, I am
guessing that your "admin" user does not have all the privileges needed.
It could be used only to test the hypothesis that something changed and "admin"
doesn't work. I have no experience/knowledge of what may have changed and what
needs to be done to fix it.

This was related to the GUI control that IIS has, you could use it if you want
manual control. Of course it's not usable with a script, so better scratch my idea.
