Remote Administration (HTML)

Finally, another GUI method for remote administration of IIS machines is the Remote Administration (HTML) tool. Because this tool is installed by default on Web Edition, I’ll defer a full discussion of it until the next chapter. What I will mention here, however, is that you can also install this tool on Standard or Enterprise Edition and then remotely manage your IIS 6 machines over the Internet from any Windows computer running Internet Explorer 5 or higher, such as a machine running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional.

To install Remote Administration (HTML) on Standard or Enterprise Edition, select Control Panel | open Add or Remove Programs | select Add/Remove Windows Components | select Application Server | click Details | select Internet Information Services | click Details | select World Wide Web Publishing Service | click Details | and select Remote Administration (HTML). This starts the Windows Components Wizard, and when it has finished, you can connect to your IIS machine from a remote workstation using a browser and administer it. More on that in the next chapter.

Note 

The version of Remote Administration (HTML) included with Windows Server 2003 can only be used for administering IIS 6 machines, not servers running earlier versions of IIS.
