Manage IIS without being local administrator in iis 5.1?

You have to be a machine admin in order to fully administer IIS (locally or remotely) using the IIS Manager GUI. I think you can do some basic tasks as an operator but they are severely limited.

Alternatively you can use the Metabase Explorer and give permissions through that (it works just like the registy editor).

Admin access is not needed but it is a huge pain to perform admin tasks that way, is not supported by MS, and you can completely destroy your installation if you aren't extremely careful. derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/microsoft.publi....

HI ktharsis, thank you for your help, but the above article, that is for IIS 6.0, I need the same for IIS 5.1... – Kishh Mar 21 at 13:56 1 iis. Net/community/default. Aspx?

Tabid=34&g=6&i=1276 (works on 5, 5.1, and 6) – ktharsis Mar 21 at 14:00 Thank you Ktharsis :) – Kishh Mar 22 at 7:45 Can any one advice me whether this method of giving access to IIS is advisable? – Kishh Mar 23 at 12:02 Not at all. The only time you should use the metabase is if you are already an adept IIS admin and just need to change/verify a single (or very few settings).

Not supported by MS at all (as stated in my answer and in the linked explanation). – ktharsis Mar 23 at 12:27.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
