strange message from IIS
When I http to a Windows 2008 box I am getting the following message appear in the browser.
__________________________
The Remote Desktop feature is not available from this browser. To access the built-in Windows Remote Desktop Connection application, use either of the following methods:
Click Start and then type MSTSC.EXE in the search box.
-or-
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.

IIS should not have been running on this box. What does the above message mean? I have never seen an IIS produce this message.
Thanks.

I detected strange traffic to IIS on this box.
It was IIS. Our network administator shut it down.
The strange thing is that MSTSC.EXE is a remote access program. Why is this reference appearing in http?
Ponderous.

You can use SysInternals TCPView to find out whether it's actually IIS (w3svc.exe) that's listening on port 80 and thus returning the page you're seeing.
