In IIS 6.0 the only supported way for a user to administer IIS is to be a member of the Local Administrators group.

This is entirely different in IIS 7.0.

I have seen people use custom MMC's to allow certain AD permissions. I didn't know if I could do that with IIS or not. My conclusion at this point is that I can't and I will have to go through the arduous task of upgrading a production server to 2008.<br />
<br />
Do you know if I can do anything with the IIS 7.0 management console to allow access to IIS 6.0, but not add the user as a local admin on the server.<br />
<br />
All help is appreciated<br />

I need to assign admin priveleges to a user who shouldn't be a server admin temporarily to use a home grown piece of software that creates internet forms. Right now I make that a user an administrator so they can make a site in IIS 6.0 then remove them from the administrators group when they are done.

How do I grant admin access to underpriveleged users in IIS 6.0 ?

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
