Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Resource Kit

Web Management Service

The Web Management Service is a service from IIS 7.0 that runs on the IIS server—that is, the server that is going to be managed remotely. It provides two important features:

• It handles remote administration for the IIS Manager by listening for incoming HTTPS requests from remote users running IIS Manager. It then executes the request operations locally.

• It provides access for Windows users without administrative privileges and non-Windows users, whether they are using IIS Manager from local or remote machines.

Note

This service is not functional in Windows Vista. This means that IIS running under Windows Vista cannot be managed ...
