You can administer your server remotely by running IIS on an intranet or the Internet.
You can use the following tools for this purpose:
•
|
IIS Manager: You can use IIS Manager on your server to remotely
connect to and administer an intranet server running IIS 5.0, IIS 5.1,
or IIS 6.0 (IIS 3.0 and IIS 4.0 are not supported).
|
|
•
|
Terminal Services: Terminal Services does not require you to install IIS Manager
on the remote client computer because, once connected to the server running IIS,
you use IIS Manager on the Web server as if you are logged on to the server locally.
|
|
•
|
Remote Administration (HTML) Tool: You can use the Remote Administration (HTML)
tool to administer your IIS Web server from any Web browser on your intranet. This
version of the Remote Administration (HTML) tool is supported only on servers running
Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0.
