MS IIS Manager Permissions

[aspnetcoder]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to IIS 7 remotely.

In IIS Manager -> MS IIS Manager Permissions tab,I have enabled the Primary Account User access via the Microsoft IIS Manager... checked primary account user and clicked on update.

Then using IIS 7 Application Server Manager, on connecting to server

Server name: <domain name>
User name: <control panel login>
Password: <password>

But I keep on getting a 401 not authorised error back.

Someone else was recently experiencing this problem, and the resolution was not to put the leading www in the domain name which I have tried but I'm still getting the same error.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks and regards.

Sorry Mark - read your original post too quickly.
Actually I am using it from Vista Ultimate.
I am now able to connect correctly - I was connecting to server, instead of connecting to site.

How you like the tool??

I personally find it confusing but it allows you to do a lot.

IMPORTANT NOTE: everything you change w/ this tool actually makes a change to the web.config on the server. If you overwrite the web.config, you'll lose all setting.

I'd appreciate it if someone can post a few examples of a web.config before and after.

I haven't used that tool yet but...
Are you using it from Vista?
If so, is Vista running IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility?
Just curious. http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/wink.gif

The tool is remote manager and you can read about it on this blog.

I forgot to add in my original post that the web server type isWindows 2008 - IIS 7.0.

However, I did check andI am running IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility.
