Can you clarify whether you're upgrading your server to Windows Server 2008, or what you're trying to do? Thanks, --Benjamin Benjamin Curry

  Re: IIS7.0 Reply Contact Benjamin,  Thank you for your quick response, but it seems your reply explained how futile my efforts were. I was simply trying to utilize IIS7.0 to manage my Windows 2003 Server Web Editions web sites. After a lilttle bit more reading, and from your comments, I see that it can be downloaded to my 2003 server to remotely manage Windows 2008 Server IIS web sites. If I am correct that is. Please advise.  JBA

  Re: IIS7.0 Reply Contact Yes, that's correct. You need to enable remote management on the IIS 7 server, and install the remote manager on your Windows Server 2003, XP or Vista computer.  Here's a link or two that might help you out. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/ad778d1f-6ff1-4962-b64d-f0ea19faa8ca1033.mspx?mfr=true http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/fd7b1818-2b54-49ba-8d8f-c4a0c3dbb1e41033.mspx?mfr=true Brian Delahunty's blog entry also might be helpful. Do a search on this on the IIS.NET site andyou might find more info, too. http://blogs.iis.net/bdela/archive/2007/10/08/remote-administration-managing-iis-7-rco-from-windows-xp-2k3-and-vista.aspx --Benjamin Benjamin Curry
