Valid User Needed for Remote Administration Using HTMLA (183729)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q183729 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SUMMARY
To administer a remote computer running Internet Information Server (IIS)
4.0 using Internet Service Manager (HTML), you must log on with a valid
administrator (or operator) account for that remote computer. If you want
to access Internet Service Manager (HTML) on a remote computer with a
different account, an account other than the one you used to log on to the
local computer, you must enable Basic Authentication and disable Windows
NT Challenge/Response authentication on the Directory Security property
sheet for the Administration Web site or the IISAdmin virtual directory.
You will then be prompted for proper user account credentials.
MORE INFORMATION
With previous releases, you could create a session to \\ServerName\IPC$
using a different user account to get access. This will not work for IIS
4.0.
