"Connect to remote server" is missing

Reply Contact

It's got to be something simple, since nobody else is having this problem. Yet I have exactly the same situation on three machines (all Vista SP2; one x86 and two x64).

Essentially, there is no "connect to remote server button" on the Connections tab of IIS manager. All I get is "Up" icon:

So, I can't even start remote management...

Puzzled..

You need to install http://www.iis.net/extensions/IISManager to enable remote management from vista.

Hello,

I have the same problem, but I run on Windows 7. When I try to install the tool you linked to, I get an error that my platform is not supported.

Is that because I am running the RC of Windows 7, or because there is another tool for Windows 7 I have to install? I do not have the option to connect to a remote server at all in my IIS Manager interface. I can only manage my local server. Can you help me with that?

Thanks!
