Use IIS 7.0

Useful tools

This section describes the Microsoft Web site downloads and tools associated with this version of Windows that help you manage IIS.

Management Console

IIS 7.0 provides two Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins. Use the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager snap-in to manage a Web server that runs IIS 7.0. Use the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager snap-in to manage FTP sites on a Web server that runs IIS 7.0, or for remote management of an IIS 6.0 Web server.

Important: It may be necessary to run MMC and the associated snap-ins with elevated privileges even if your account is in the Computer Administrators group.

To open MMC with elevated privileges, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt and then point to Run Elevated. In the command prompt that opens, type mmc.exe to start MMC. In the console tree of MMC, click File, click Add/Remove Snap-in, select either Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager or Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager, and then click Add.
