Using Windows 7 Home Premium with IIS 7.5 Express installed I cannot find the 'IIS Manage Users' function on the localhost / webserver level.
I have been in Control Panel --> Programs and Features --> Turn Windows Features On/Off --> and pretty much enabled/installed everything for IIS and it's security sub folder but no such functionality can be found within IIS after restarting it.
My final goal is to create an IIS Manager User Account (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732621(v=ws.10).aspx).
How to enable the 'IIS Manage Users' function within IIS 7.5 Express?
edit: I'm suspecting this is due to my Win7 version? Upgrading to Ultimate might do the trick: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753473.aspx
2nd edit: Upgrading to Win7 Ultimate DID NOT add this functionality.
You can try this:
On the control Pane click on: "Uninstall a Program" => "Turn Windows features on or off".
Under Server Roles find "Web Server (IIS) => "Management Tools" "Management Service" and then click on install.
Then go to IIS Management and you will see on your machine or the sites some new options under "Management".

I created a VM server 2019 and I don't want my employees to have remote access to the server. But I want them to be able to access the IIS on the server through a windows 10 machine. I went to the IIS manager in the server and added the users to the IIS manager permission through active directory. On my windows 10, I went to control panel-Programs-Turn Windows Feature on or off and enabled the IIS. So what's happening is that they can find the IIS Manager app under the start menu on windows 10, but when they try to open it there's a pop-up asking if want to allow changes to the device, then it asks for their passwords. And after they enter the password a new pop-up comes up saying I need to be an Administrator to use IIS manager. They are not admin to windows 10 and I don't want for them to be admin. Any idea how I can fix this?
Remote administration 1.2 no longer available for download.
Make sure the WinRM IIS Extension is checked and installed on Win Server 2019 (Under "Feature" selection. (Add Roles and Features Wizard)
This is the missing piece that took me an hour to figure out in the latest version.
It sounds like you need to delegate IIS administration to non-admin user.
Then you need to install IIS manager for remote administration 1.2 as lex said. Once you install it, IIS will no longer as for administrator prevelige.
The next you need to do is install IIS management and create IIS manager user. Then you could add your win10's IP to management service IP restirction, so only your win 10 have permission to connect the server.
PS:Please remember to allow 8172 in windows firewall.

I can't find any information about IIS on my Azure Websites Dashboard. I checked every panel.
You can see the IIS version and other server information in Kudu on the Environment page under the Server variables heading.
The variable name is SERVER_SOFTWARE, for example my web app has SERVER_SOFTWARE=Microsoft-IIS/8.0
To access Kudu, you can navigate to https://[app-name].scm.azurewebsites.net, or you can look for the Advanced Tools blade under Development Tools:
This information is not available on the Dashboard.
You can simply use the Server Variable "SERVER_SOFTWARE" anywhere in your code:
ViewBag.Message = Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_SOFTWARE"];
Here is the result on Azure Web Sites in West Europe data centre.
I believe the IIS version is dependant on the OS Family / Server version you're using on instance. This is very unqualified but I believe 2008 runs IIS 7, 2012 IIS 8 and 2012 R2 IIS 8.5.
Probably the simplest way is to deploy up a server, RDP into it and find out that way...
HTH
Start > Admin tools > IIS Manager (NOT THE 6.0 MGR) > Help > About..: voila
IIS is version 8.5.. on my windows Server 2012 R2
I have been trying to setup Web Deploy on my Windows 2012 server running IIS 8. I have installed Web Deploy using Platform installer but when I right click my website and select deploy, there is no option for Configure Web Deploy Publishing as various documentation suggests.
I found this posting where the individual had the same problem. Turns out that he needed to install "Web Deploy 3.5 for Hosting Servers" on top of the other Web Deploy packages in web platform installer. Once I did this and restarted IIS the option became available.
Seems counter-intuitive to me since I am not a hosting provider and just wanted to host my application on my own server. I am not sure why the Web Deploy 3.5 package was not enough.
I had additional problems getting Web Deploy configured. This article on Web Deploy error codes helped me troubleshoot the problem. Another article on Configure the Web Deployment Handler was essential in solving the permissions issue allowing the web deploy user to create directories and files.
For me the reinstall of Web Deploy didn't work. But I fixed it.
Go into the Server Manager, Roles, click on IIS, click on Add Role Services, check the Management Service. Close that out. Reopen IIS Manager, and voila the option is available!
For Windows2012 R2 server, options is in'Web Server (IIS)' -> 'Management Tools' –> 'Management Service'
P.S. Some additional steps could be required, as of #Gaui experience.
Afterwards go to Programs and Features, find Web Deploy, click Change and check/install all checkboxes/features.
You need to install Management Service before you install Web Deploy. If you haven't uninstall Web Deploy and reinstall it and it should work.
UPDATED:
Follow these steps:
type programs and features (in the menu search box)
Go to WEB DEPLOY (install it from web platform installer in case you don't have it)
Select WEB DEPLOY and click the change option at the top
Check and install ALL options available
Wait to install and close/reopen IIS GUI
the options should appear when you right click over the site.
I had the same issue and installing "Web Deployment Tool 2.1" from the Web Platform installer fixed the issue.
Installing "IIS Management Service" from Web platform would show up all the required items.
coad comment was the solution for me. I was using Web Deploy 3.6 on IIS 8.5. Removed 3.6 and install 3.5 and it worked.
Be ware !! Web Deploy 3.6 doesn't work with IIS 8.5.9600.16384 ... after installation, server restart - the deploy menu doesn't appear in IIS manager console Web Deploy 2.0 how ever doesn't suffer this issue Best Regards,
I kept on right clicking on the web application instead of web site.
One can have multiple web applications under a web site. There is also a sub menu in the context menu when you right click the web application but it is "missing" the item "Configure Web Deploy Publishing...". This is because you configure web deploy publishing for web site and not for web application.
So to sum it up
Web site has this option
Web application doesn't have it
I have a remote Windows 2012 server running IIS 8 from which I am hosting a web application. My local development box is running Visual Studio 2012. Currently I am publishing my app as a web deployment package (.zip), RDP'ing to the production server, copy + pasting to a folder and deploying the application from within IIS. My question is, what changes do I need to make to deploy directly to IIS from Visual Studio 2012 using the web deploy option?
I have tried to follow this guide but it refers to a service URL which I must obtain from my hosting company. I don't have a hosting company, my server is co-located.
I am presented with the following options:
Is the username and password the one I use for the RDP account? I already have Web Deploy 3.0 installed on IIS do I need to enable further settings?
OK I found the solution but it took me a whole day to get it working! Basically the steps are as follows. This is very sketchy but see the detailed guides below which helped me.
Enable the IIS Web Management role feature.
Install Web Deploy 3.0 (or higher). Make sure to customise the install to include the handlers (See notes below). If you're not presented with this option go to add/remove programs, find webdeploy, right click and select "change" option.
In IIS click on the server node and find the "Management Service" icon. Enable remote access and configure a dedicated IIS User for remote deployment (These will be the credentials that will go in the user name and password boxes).
At the site level in IIS assign this user to manage the website.
Make sure port 8172 is open on the web server (you can check this port here).
Try reconnecting from Visual Studio. There was some trial and error here for me but the error messages do link to a MS guide for decoding :)
Even after connecting successfully I had to wrangle with permissions, so my IIS user had sufficient privileges to create the app pool, directories and general file management jobs.
The following links really helped!
Configuring the handler on the web server:
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/configure-the-web-deployment-handler
Connecting via Visual Studio:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465337(v=vs.110).aspx
NOTES:
To ensure the handler is running, login into your IIS server and point your browser to the following URL.
https://<servername>:8172/MsDeploy.axd
F12 to open up the dev tools to see the HTTP response. Also MsDeploy also creates IIS logs in inetpub/logs which should give you some clue if you're having connectivity problems.
I had the same problem and this post was very useful to help me solve the issue. I had anyhow serious troubles while trying to install Web Deploy on my Windows Server 2012. The installation of Web Deploy 3.0 was giving me several errors and it couldn't be completed.
I tried to solve the problem installing "Microsoft Web Platform Installer 5.0" from http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx but it didn't solve it.
I thought it was due to Firewall Settings, Authorizations issues, Users without permissions or something like that. Finally I found out it wasn't due to any of the mentioned reasons.
I found the most simple solution and I hope it will help other users too: it was enough to download Web Deploy 3.5 installation directly from Microsoft Website:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39277
This may sound banal but it solved it. I was able to install "Web Management Service" but not the second needed IIS service "Web Deployment Agent Service".
I am on vista home premium (32 bit) and I need to enable windows authentication for IIS because the Sitefinity sample site returns a 401. However, in add windows features, there is no sign of windows authentication despite having expanded all the treeviews.
How can I enable windows auth?
Thanks
Windows authentication is a feature that's only available in upper editions such as Business/Ultimate as Tchami pointed out.
This page should answer your question. Also, to install IIS on Vista Home Premium look here
But in short:
Open IIS Manager and navigate to the level you want to manage.
In Features View, double-click Authentication.
On the Authentication page, select Windows Authentication.
In the Actions pane, click Enable to use Windows authentication.
