Valid User Needed for Remote Administration Using HTMLA

• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

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.
