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:

1. Run the following command:

   Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ManagementService

2. Enable Remote Management:

   Set EnableRemoteManagement to 1 under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server
   

3. Start the Web Management Service as this is set to manual:

   Net start wmsvc
