DOCUMENT:Q238337 04-FEB-2000 [iis] TITLE :Browse Button for Home Directory Is Disabled in MMC PRODUCT :Internet Information Server PROD/VER:winnt:4.0,5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0 - Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= This article explains why the Browse button is disabled in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) when you are administering a remote server. This occurs when you try to create or modify a virtual directory or virtual Web for a remote server. MORE INFORMATION ================ When you are administering an IIS computer remotely, you may find it necessary to modify the home directory of a Web or virtual directory. When you view the properties for either of these, the Browse button is disabled (grayed) even though you can specify the location by typing the path in the text box that is available. This is by design. The browse function is disabled because the control only allows local directory browsing.
