The final release of IIS 7.0 Manager (a.k.a. Remote Manager for IIS 7.0) is now available.
This tool is pretty cool because it allows you to connect to a remote IIS server and administer it using the same familiar IIS 7 management console found on the server itself.
You can find the appropriate installers here:
X86: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1626
X64: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1633
The requirements to run are:
- Vista Service Pack 1 and Internet Information Services Management Console Installed or...
- XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
- .Net Framework 2.0
Make sure that you download the correct bit version because the 32-bit version will not install on a 64-bit operating system.
As many of you well know, Vista Service Pack 1 is not widely available at this point. It is available for MSDN and TechNet subscribers, but for a majority of users it is not available. For more information on the public release status of Vista Service Pack 1 please look here:
