  Re: remote programming Reply Contact Perhaps this is unclear.  I want to manage IIS7 but to do so remotely using an existing windows 2003 server.  So I'm developing on a windows 2003 server but I want to control and manage a remote IIS7 server.   Here is where things stand, on my development windows 2003 server I've installed .net framework 3.5 and I copied over the management DLL's from the windows 2008 server.  To test I threw together a little console app and tried to create a website.  Here is the error which I'm not sure what to do with. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled   Message="Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {2B72133B-3F5B-4602-8952-803546CE3344} failed due to the following error: 80040154."   Source="Microsoft.Web.Administration"   ErrorCode=-2147221164  Anyone have ideas on this?

I'm not sure but per Calos's blog this is supported on Vista and W2k8 only. http://blogs.msdn.com/carlosag/archive/2006/04/17/MicrosoftWebAdministration.aspx Cheers, Bernard Cheah

  Re: remote programming Reply Contact I also have an exception when trying to use the ServerManager.OpenRemote method (see below) Well, it is actually thrown when I try to access the Sites collection but the ServerManager is not initialized anyway. I am running the code on a Windows XP SP2 computer. Can someone confirm if this should work on a XP box or if it will only work on Vista and Win2K8? BTW- the same code works properly on the server itself...   Thanks, Julien  ********** Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.Web.Administration.Interop.IAppHostWritableAdminManager'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{FA7660F6-7B3F-4237-A8BF-ED0AD0DCBBD9}' failed due to the following error: Interface not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040155).

  Re: remote programming Reply Contact Thank you for your reply. I read bernard's answer but it did not sound like an assertion to me...  "I'm not sure but per Calos's blog this is supported on Vista and W2k8 only" As he said, he was not sure and Carlos' blog article was written nearly 2 years ago...giving some hope on a wider support (especially with the IIS Manager now running on XP) A pity that it's not mentioned anywhere else but in a blog...I would have expected this to be stated in the MWA article on IIS.Net, or at least in the MSDN or Technet docs. Anyway, thanks for answering and hopes this will more clearly said for others!
