I am a developer and have administrator priviliges (for now) on a Windows 2008 R2 server that has IIS 7.5 with Remote administration enabled. I am not able to remote into the IIS Manager from my local machine (Win 7 64-bit). It keeps giving me 401 Unauthorized error? I connect using the servername:8172.
I went to multiple forums and did the exact steps suggested, but just can't figure out why can't I remotely connect to IIS Manager from my local machine (Win 7 64-bit).
A little background: I did not install the IIS on the server; our network team did that. I downloaded and installed "IIS 7 Manager for Remote Administration" on my local machine to be able to remotely connect to the IIS Manager (on the server). Did I download the wrong version? Is there something like "IIS 7.5 Manager for Remote Administration" that I should have downloaded?
Please let me know if you would like me to give any other info to help me resolve this issue.
I really need to figure this out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
