Using MWA to remotely manage IIS on Server Core.

Hi,

I was playing with MWA ( Microsoft.Web.Administration) to remotely connect to a Web server, I can connect to a remote IIS server installed on a full version of WS08 using the following commands:

PS C:\> [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom(“C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll”)

PS C:\> $$SrvMgr= Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager]::OpenRemote("IIS-FULL")

Evrything works great!

I'd like to know whether I can use MWA to connect to a remote Web server installed on Server Core. If yes, what are the IIS components that is needed to be installed on Server Core? In my environment, I only install the basic comeponent ie IIS-WebServerRole

I have tried to create a remote connection. The command returns no error, I get a server manger object but it is empty (.ie. Null). I have disabled the firewall on server core just in case and have network connection to the server core machine. I can conect remotely from a MMC window to a server core box.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
