Configure an IIS server other than the CommNet Server for Web Administration

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To configure an IIS Server:

1. On the computer that has IIS installed and running, log on as an Administrator or member of the Administrators group.
2. Open the Windows Internet Information Service Manager.
3. Create a virtual directory. The virtual directory name will be the web alias.
4. Configure the virtual directory to point the installation folder on the CommNet Server. You can enter a UNC path to the CommNet Server or Browse to the location.

NOTES

Once the setup is complete, you should be able to enter the IIS server name and alias (e.g., http://server1/Monitor) into a web browser to start the CommNet Browser as a remote web-based application.
