You might get an error when trying to manage a remote IIS server core session using the IIS management console from a remote computer. You might receive the following error message.
Could not connect to the specified computer. Details: Unable to connect to the remote server
There are three things that you need to do all on the server core machine running IIS:
- Run the following command:
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ManagementService
- Enable Remote Management:
Set EnableRemoteManagement to 1 under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server
-
Start the Web Management Service as this is set to manual:
Net start wmsvc
