How to use IIS of one Server on network ?

[essa2000]

Dears;

We have one advance server 2000 and IIS is working properly on it. I want to use that IIS form other Advance Server b/c the IIS is not working properly on that server and it is not connecting with the localhost. How can I use the IIS of one Advance Server on other Advance Server or other Professional 2000 Windows. I want to run my ASP pages on my PC.

You may use/manage IIS on another server, from your local machine (W2k Pro or Adv W2k Svr) via either LAN or internet. I am assuming you want to do it via LAN:

From your W2k Pro (or another W2k server) in your network, open IIS on the local machine (Start -> Programs Administrative Tools -> Internet Service Manager), click Action on top of the toobar, Connect, you will be prompted with Computer Name. Enter the name of the W2k Server you want to connect to (or, you may use its IP instead), you will see all the services under that server, just like the way you manage the same services on your local computer.

Did above answer your question ?

Dear;

Yes, I get your answer and I checked this way already and I gave the name of my other server which has proper IIS but I showed me only the computer i.e. PDC and nothing else.

I could not solve this problem right now. I hope you will give more hint.

Did you try connecting the computer by entering the IP address (like 10.0.0.112, in my case)? By the way, every time you make a connection, it connects to one specific computer.

If the IIS on that machine is not running, you will see a message "Unable to connect the target machine", or "No administrable services found" if IIS is not installed there.

What was the error message you got ? It's not about whether you can do it or not, it's about HOW

Dear ;


I did not try this , I just try to connect using computer name. Now, I'll try using my IP address.

When I start IIS on my PC i.e. Advance Server I first message "Unable to connect the target machine", and "Path not found" in two different lines. I found Internet Service Mamager in the administrative tools.

I think , I will have to reinstalled IIS on that machine. What do you suggest.

I agree. Basically, the IIS on the machine in question is not working properly. It may take less time for you to uninstall and reinstall IIS on that machine than do all the trouble shooting on it. You may want to properly backup however, if you already have some setups you want to reuse.

Dear Jackcipk;

I have reinstalled the IIS on my Advacnce Server machine and now it is properly installed. IIS is now running but I am unable to run my ASP pages in it when I select browse option in IIS on my web page then IE is launched by the page is not displayed in it. When I did some more R & D then I noticed that I am logged as a user on my advance server which is not our main server. When I logged as Administrator then I displayed the pages. Can you explain user rights in IIS.

I have installed IIS on Professional 2000. Thanks for giving me help.
