We have many IIS7.5 web servers which require support from different departments and we would like to avoid giving away too many privileges to certain user groups (security groups in Active Directory).
We would like to take a backup of the IIS configuration, store it in one location for all servers and allow those support units to read/view the configuration instead of accessing the IIS administrative tools directly from each server.
I was thinking of Metabase Explorer which used to be available for IIS 6.0 in Resource Kit. Is there something similar that users can install to their workstations to view the IIS config from different servers?
Or is there a better way to give a security group read only access to IIS configuration on servers?
http://www.iis.net/configreference
Simply copy the applicationHost.config file (along with other XML files necessary). Metabase Explorer is obsolete and should be avoided to be used against IIS 7 and above.
IIS 7 and above does introduce better remote administration support, which you can learn from http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/remote-administration/configuring-remote-administration-and-feature-delegation-in-iis-7
Please treat it seriously as a brand new product, or your IIS 6 knowledge might mislead you.

I'm new to a company with a small network of computers (~10). We have a server (\\SERVER) that has multiple shared folders on it. The image below is a snapshot from file explorer. The bottom left shows "Network" and "server" appearing on the network. The shared files are also shown.
When I am logged into the SERVER (i.e. sit down at the actual computer acting as the server) with an administrator account, I can't find these shared folders anywhere. I suspect they reside somewhere on the C: drive (both the C: drive and the shared folders have the exact same size). My question is, where should I be able to find these folders on the computer SERVER?
I am definitely a noob to this type of thing. Perhaps I'm missing something fundamental. Either way, any help that could be offered would be very appreciated!
To view a list of all shared folders
Right-click Computer and choose Manage (Requires administrative
privileges)
Once opened, go to Computer Management > System
Tools > Shared Folders > Shares

Why does Visual Studio require administrative privileges to publish to local IIS? Does it need the permissions to bind a port, or is it because it copies files to a directory owned by a different user?
I'm talking about the "Please launch Visual Studio under administrator mode to perform this deployment action" message.
Visual Studio uses IIS APIs (varied based on operating systems) to perform deployment tasks. Such APIs are designed to be called only by administrators, so VS is forced to ask you for that permission in turn. So the things you mentioned (bindings, file system access) are all related, but only part of the whole image.
I am cloning Microsoft.Web.Administration (one of the IIS APIs), so I can fully understand why they desire administrator permissions initially, which does make implementation simple enough.

I have coldfusion and iis working together now. In IIS I have the coldfusion administrator running inside the default website however when I have other sites added from other projects I have done it returns a blank white page. No errors or anything. I have the static pages enabled which have been some other peoples suggestions but it's just not working. Is there anything else that needs to be enabled? I have checked the security on the folders in the inetpub director and the IIS user is inside the list of users and I have correctly setup the datasources and vasrious mappings for these projects. Has anyone else ever experienced this and know how to fix this?
Have you checked the web.config file, and are all the correct web connector settings in there? If you have to redo a lot of websites you can use the web connector tool that comes with coldfusion to apply the change.
Beyond that I would check if you have any URL filtering that's blocking you, and enable robust errors in iis to see if it gives you anything.
Are you receiving HTML back at all? Even try adding a simple index.html file with hello world in it might point you to a setting inside of iis and if it only effect .cfm files or it effects all pages for those sites.
Remove the connector. Launch the connector tool as admin and recreate the connector.
If this fails, try accessing simple html page.

I want to use my Windows Desktop (XP, Windows7, , Win 10, Linux) as Thin Client Server.
It should be able to give a simultaneous log in session to 5-6 persons using thin client or Internet.
Basically, I want it to make a server, for a community group, which can use the same machine in a room for development. To give everyone more flexibility, I would like to give them another option, to use same machine to log in (With given username and password) and use it as virtual desktop (as in case of Citrix) in a simultaneous log in manner.
If I can Internet simultaneous log in Idea, It will be a big help.
Please leave your suggestions.
Thanks
I don't think I have got to the bottom of it,
but you sure can install windows7 or windows server 2008,
don't know about later versions.
And simultaneously keep few users connected with RemoteControl (msdtc) to the same machine.

Currently I have a dedicated server with WHM and Joomla running.
I want to transfer it to new server. This new server has high speed bandwidth.
I only have remote access to the new server which has Win 2008 R2 installed and it shows it was installed on a VM.
I need to configure this server to run a domain name with Joomla which will be access by 10k visitors/month.
I have knowledge on WHM and CPanel only. How I can started with any ready made packages?
The reason my management changed the server is for better performance as current dedicated server is slower.
However, I guess the new server is installed on a VM..
Please guide.
The first thing you need to do is not move your Joomla site to a Windows server. The configuration of the server is critical to the performance of Joomla and you will have nagging issues until the end of time trying to run Joomla on Windows. It can be done, but it's a massive headache and there is absolutely no advantage to doing so. There are dozens of reputable hosting companies that have servers configured specifically to run Joomla optimally. Take a look at Rochen (I have over 50 sites on Rochen) or CloudAccess, both have official relationships with the Joomla project and both have very reasonable pricing.
Also, 10k visitors per month does not require a dedicated server unless all of those users are on simultaneously running SQL query heavy apps. You could easily run a site that size on a managed virtual server and have no performance issues at all. I've got sites with hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors running on a single MVS with no issues at all.
