Remote Administration of IIS 4.0

[Jonathan]

I am trying to sort out remote administration of IIS 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have sorted out being able to do it using the HTML admin option, but I have now installed the MMC and IIS snapin on my PC.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can connect to the server, but when I try and go any further down the tree than the &quot;Default Web Site&quot; or &quot;Administration Web Site&quot;, I get the following message:<br><br>&quot;Unable to Enumerate Files and Directories because the following error occurred:<br><br>Access denied.&quot;<br><br>The setup is as follows:<br>The Server I am trying to administrate is running NT Server 4 with SP 4.<br>The PC I am using is NT Workstation 4 with SP 4.<br>The PC I am using is in a different NT domain to the one I am trying to administrate.<br><br>I have:<br>Added myself to the Administration group on the server.<br>Made sure I have full access rights on all files in the INetPub folder.<br>Added myself to the Web site operators list on all websites.<br>Added my IP to the access granted list on the admin website.<br><br>What am I doing wrong!&nbsp;&nbsp;Why does the MMC snapin not work when the HTML administration method does?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Jon <p> Jonathan<br><a href=mailto:j.w.george@virginnet.co.uk>j.w.george@virginnet.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Working with: Visual Basic 6, Access 97, Visual Interdev 6, VBScript, Active Server Pages, SQL Server 6.5, Oracle 7

Yeah, I had the same headache trying to get this to work.<br><br>What you do is create a local account on the IIS server you want to remotely admin, with the same name and password as the account that you log in with on the remote machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;Give the local account on the other machine and presto - it should allow you to administrate the snap-in.<br><br>However, you are better off using remote control tools like timbuktu or pc anywhere.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is a shareware tool called vnc - I think - which has all the functionality you need.<br><br>Hope this is of help
