Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Manager is Now Available

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:
