IIS 5.0 "Site Operators Can Administer This Site Remotely" Option (227611)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0
This article was previously published under Q227611

SUMMARY

When you set up a new Web site using the HTMLA Web Administration Forms, you are presented with the new Site operators can administer this site remotely option, which is not available in the MMC. If this option is checked, it will create an IISADMIN virtual directory (like the one under the Default Web Site) in order for the site operator to use the HTMLA Web Administration Forms on the site.

MORE INFORMATION

To access the HTMLA Web Administration Forms, the operator can go to a Web browser and simply type "http://sitename/IISADMIN." This only allows the operator to administer their own site.

The administrator (or Web admin) of the Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 computer can still administer the site via the Administration Site set up when IIS is installed.

Note: This option is not available for new virtual directories.
