The IIS Snap-in

The Internet Information Services snap-in provides server management options to control content and access to your Web or FTP sites. For example, if you are a developer testing a site before uploading it to a corporate intranet or the Internet, you can use this tool to test your settings exactly as they will be on the final server. The snap-in includes these features:

Additional server settings, such as settings to manage an FTP site, isolate applications, map MIME types, or designate additional script engines.
A wizard to create new virtual directories.
The ability to administer installations of Internet Information Services across a network.

To open the IIS Snap-In

Method One

From the Start menu, select Settings and then Control Panel .

Note The Internet Information Services snap-in is an administration tool for IIS 5.1 that has been integrated with other administrative functions of Windows 2000. In previous releases this tool was called the Internet Service Manager.
