1) SETUP IIS TO ACCEPT REMOTE MANAGEMENT CONNECTIONS
Open IIS manager as administrator, go to server level and open Management Service:
Make sure that the service is running and note the port number. You can configure management service to accept connections for windows users, IIS manager users or both:
Optional: Create IIS manager user(s) for remote management – open IIS Manager Users from server level:
Optional: Create IIS manager user(s) for remote management – add new IIS Manager user:
Go to the site you would like to allow remote management and open IIS Manager Permissions:
Click Allow User and provide user details. You can either choose a Windows user (local or domain) or an IIS Manager user:
2) SETUP REMOTE USER’S CONNECTION
Open remote user’s IIS or logon IIS server with the client’s credentials (or you can open IIS manager with Run As Different User for testing purpose – note that client SKUs, e.g.: Windows 7, do not have remote management features.). Choose File ==> Connect to a Site:
Specify the site connection details (server name and site name), note that you should also provide the port number for the management service:
Provide correct credentials (either Windows user or IIS Manager user – depends on how you configured the users before):
Specify a connection name and click Finish:
Now you should be able to see the site:
