I see there is an option to install the IIS Management Service when running optionalfeatures.exe. That also seems to create a service which is set to run manually called "Web Management Service".Then I see that there is "IIS Manager for Remote Administration" which looks to be more a way to enable a Client OS (in my case Windows 7) to control a server OS (in my case 2008 R2).The question I have is if there is any way a Windows 7 Client can remotely connect and manage the web site of another Windows 7 Cilent. From what I see in the IIS forums it doesn't look like it can.If that is the case (I hope it isn't), then what does the Web Management Service do?

Hi, This question appears more related to IIS, since we have specific support for IIS related issues or questions, please go to IIS Forum for help. Meanwhile, I would like to share the following with you: IIS Manager for Remote Administration new IIS Manager for remote administration Hope this helps. Thanks.Nicholas Li - MSFT
