Use the Management Service feature page to configure the management service for IIS Manager. The management service enables computer and domain administrators to remotely manage a Web server that uses IIS Manager. The service also enables non-administrative users to locally and remotely manage delegated features of sites and applications on a Web server that uses IIS Manager.
|
Note |
|
Only administrators who use IIS Manager on the local computer can configure the management service. |
