remote administration of IIS

[Guest]

Hi,

I need my application to create virtual directories on an IIS server that is live on the internet.

How can I administer a remote IIS server with .net ?

Also I need to have some security mechanism for accessing the IIS server through code. The server is an IIS 6.0 on a Win 2003 server box.

I tried using DirectoryEntry class, but it gives the error "The RPC Server is Unavailable", though the server iis is running.

I find that I cannot use a webservice as the permission set for a webservice seems insufficient to create a virtual directory.

Also I gather that http channel remoting might not work from behing authenticated proxies and a firewall.

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Hi,
I do not know about IIS, but for http remoting, you may take a look at
www.genuinechannels.com.

I'm using them intensively, and they work pretty well behind
proxies/firewalls.
