I am trying to change IIS permissions and users on a Windows 8.1 Pro box for remote management of the IIS server installed on it. However, after installing the IIS Management Service, I am unable to find IIS Management Permissions or IIS Management Users under the Management section in the IIS Manager GUI. Please help.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to script the "Allow or Deny Remote Connections from Unspecified Clients" for me to define a specific IPv4 address that will remote my IIS. 

Scenario: Server1 will manage Server2. I want to define/ add allow Server1 for remote connections in Server2's IIS management service.

I am using powershell script. 

This script will enable IIS Management service, Disable logging, set WMSVC service to Automatic and Start the service.

$Servers = "C:\servers.txt"$Sessions = New-PSSession -ComputerName $Servers


Invoke-command –Session $Sessions -ScriptBlock{Set-ItemProperty -Path  HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server -Name EnableRemoteManagement  -Value 1}
Invoke-command –Session $Sessions -ScriptBlock{Set-ItemProperty -Path  HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server -Name EnableLogging  -Value 0}

Invoke-command –Session $Sessions -ScriptBlock {Set-Service -name WMSVC  -StartupType Automatic}
Invoke-command –Session $Sessions -ScriptBlock {Start-service WMSVC}

IIS Manager - Unable to connect to other servers

I am using Vista. I installed IIS Manager.

All our servers are running IIS 7.

 After I type in my Servername, then my credentials, it comes up with this error:

"Could not connecto the specified computer. Details: Unable to connect to the remote server"

I tried doing this from the server and I get the same result. 

 What could be happening here? I just need to type in the servername correct?

Failure to install IIS Manager for Remote Administrator

Hi

I'm trying to manage a remote IIS server via my Windows 8 desktop machine. I have enabled the IIS Manager. However, this does not enable connection to remote hosts by default. In order to enable that, I loaded the Web Platform Installer and attempted to install IIS Manager For Remote Administration v1.2. 

However, when I do this from within the Web Platform Installer, I get an error saying the downloaded file failed signature verification.

Looking at the logs, I'm wondering whether there's a problem with this package. I've tried installing on two completely separate Windows 8 machines and am hitting the same error.

Can anyone offer guidance on why this is happening?

Custom Hostnames in IIS 8.5 on 2012 r2 Not Working

$

Hello All,

Forgive me if I am not posting in the right area of this forum.

For some reason Web Services will not allow me to use a DNS Server Alias'.

I tried to create an alias in IIS on Server 2012 R2, I started by creating the DNS CNAME and then I added the hostname to the bindings area in the IIS Console. When I try to access the website it gives me a Connection Refused Message. This is only for Web based applications. When I typed in the DNS CNAME as a UNC Path it works fine. Also applications that use apache work fine in the browser. For some reason whenever i set a hostname in IIS it just doesn't work. Is there some new security thing in Server 2012 that I might've missed. I just upgraded my server to 2012 R2 from 2008 R2. The result is the same when I type the Alias in on a workstation or directly from the server. I am very technical savvy and I am also A+ Certified so please do not be afraid to use any Technical Terms with me. This has me puzzled.

Site tree is empty in IIS Manager

I don't know if this is the right section, but I am having issue with IIS manager not showing the site tree on the left side bar. It's just empty although I have four sites defined and can access them when I click on "Sites link" as you can see in the screenshot:

Empty sites tree

I am not sure what caused it as it was working normal before. Unfortunately I didn't capture the circumstances when it stopped working.

I tried completely uninstalling IIS and reinstalling,  but that didn't help. I also tried running as administrator and as simple user... Is there a log that would show more info? Anything else I could do to resolve it? It's a frustrating to manage IIS without it.


Some modules not showing using Server Manager

$

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a Reverse Proxy Server but I got this issue and I don't know how to solve it:

I installed Server 2012 R2 Core edition, then I installed and configured roles on the server without any issue.

I downloaded and installed the ARR 3.0 package with all dependencies in it. Done it! 

I correctly added the Server Manager service so that I can manage IIS from a remote server or pc with the IIS Management console and it works.

Now I'm able to connect to the ISS of this server from my laptop, but I cannot see some modules as the Application Request Routing and URL Rewrite. They are simply not showing up on the console, because if I check the installed modules I see them!

Googling around I found this post: http://forums.iis.net/t/1188523.aspx of 2012, if I understand well it says that it was a known issue back in 2012...

Now, as I have a Core edition installed (and I would not like to install Graphical components on it), how I'm supposed to configure ARR and URL Rewrite if I cannot do it trough the Server Manager?

Suggestions? 

Thank you,
Nicola.

Disabling TLS 1.0 Breaks ability to remotely manage with IIS Manager?

$

Hello everyone, I am having an issue that I hope someone can help me out with. We're trying to do some hardening on some IIS servers in our DMZ. Currently we have a terminal server (2008 R2) in the DMZ that we use to remotely manage the IIS Servers, which are running 2008 R2 Core.

I have KB3080079 installed on all of the servers so that RDP works correctly, but when I disable TLS 1.0 on either the TS, or the IIS erver (or both) I cannot use IIS Manager to remotely connect to the IIS server from the TS, I receive the following error:

Could not connect to the specified computer.

Details: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occured on a receive.

If I cancel out of the error, and click on the server in IIS manager again, I get the following error:

There was an error when trying to connect. Do you want to retype your credentials and try again?

Details:

The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm.

I have exhausted my google-fu trying to find an answer to this, the closest was a thread in this forum started in March 2016 that said the OP was working with Microsoft to resolve, but of course, no resolution posted. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

IIS Manager disconnect

this drives me crazy:

images

1 - hovering over the globe icon with the x on it, the tooltip/title says 'Delete Connection'.

2 - right-clicking the connection, the tooltip/title says 'Remove Connection'.

3 - and the File menu option says 'Disconnect'.

4 - on top of that, when i selected 'disconnect' from the file menu, i got a confirm message 'Are you sure that you want to remove this connection?'

what's up with these? are they different? do they do the same thing? i'd like to disconnect and have the connection saved if that's possible. (IIS Manager on Win10.)

Remote Management IIS 10 - Server 2016 Core

$

Hello everybody,

we are thinking about migrating our existing Webserver Farm (Server 2012 R2 / IIS 8.5) to new Servers. Now i am playing arround with Server 2016 CORE and IIS 10. We are using Shared Config and Shared Content in our existing Farm.

Everything worked fine - i joined a new Webserver to our existing farm with the shared config... then i've managed the Core IIS Server from another IIS Management Console. After i restarted the Core Server, the Console on the Remote Machine only shows me the management part of the IIS... not more. I already tried to restart again, iis reset etc... all services are running and the sites are online... but i can't manage the IIS correctly. Also the account i am using has domain admin rights... so that should be enough ;-)

Does somebody has an Idea?

Regards

Marc

virtual directory "hides" physical directory in IIS Manager

$

Hello,

imagine your IIS "wwwroot"-directory contains a subfolder named "test". That directory shows up in the IIS Manager ("Default Web Site" -> all directories of "wwwroot"/document root are shown). Now when creating a virtual directory also named "test" in the"Default Web Site" the IIS Manager hides the physical "test"-Folder from the wwwroot completely.

It makes sense I guess (somehow) but I was wondering if it would be possible to maybe show a message that something bad(tm) might happen if someone creates a virtual directory with a name that might already exist in the document root?

Was recently thinking about this, something bad(tm) happened to me that way because "lack of attention". Such a warning message would have been helpful, I guess.

Cannot write configuration file - Remote Administration & Shared Configuration

$

I have a few IIS Servers with Shared Configuration setup. The Shared Configuration files as well as the physical path for all the websites map to an Azure file storage account. Everything is working good with the website.

I am trying to get Remote administration working, however when I attempt to make a change to any of the configuration settings, i receive: Cannon write configuration file.  I have followed the instructional here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/provisioning-and-managing-iis/shared-configuration-and-remote-provisioning as this is the same issue I am having. But after making the suggested changes to the adaadmin component service, i still receive the error.

Procmon shows some funky events. The first event impersonates the user account that I would expect after making the suggested adaadmin changes. The second event seems to completely ignore the adaadmin changes and use the account that i am logged in as. This is causing my error.

Microsoft IIS Administation API and IIS Manager User account creation

We have created several FTP sites on Server 2016 and instead of using Windows User accounts, we are leveraging the IIS Manager Users to grant external user access.

Developing a web management client RSS

$

Hello,

I am attempting to develop an ASP.NET based web management client for IIS7 (like a web-based IIS manager). We are a hosting company, so we required to have a web-based administration tool for IIS7. I explored the available ways to implement such tool...

Microsoft.Web.Administration is not an option, because this ASP.NET web application will be located on the different system without RPC access to IIS7 (Start and Stop methods will fail). WMI falls out of the picture as well (no direct RPC). I also would prefer not to use Windows Remote Management (WS-Management), as there are no clean .NET implementations for this service. The best choice for us is just to re-use existing Microsoft.Web.Administration functionality.

I started this task by exploring the available classes and interfaces in Microsoft.Web.Management namespace. I soon realized that in order for me to make any kind of invokes into web administration service, i would need to instantiate Microsoft.Web.Management.Client.Connection class. The constructor for this class is marked as "internal", so this immediately put a big roadblock on my task. In addition, I also noticed that all "ModuleProxy" classes are also internal.

Do you have any plans to grant this kind of extensibility? I believe that all that is needed from you is to mark those classes as "public". There is really no need to develop any kind of documentation or even publicly support such way of extending IIS web administration client.
