Is there an alternative console for administering websites in IIS6?

Question

I've used many web site hosting services in the past and I've grown very comfortable with the web based site administration tools. Does anyone have a recomendation for a replacement for IIS Managment Console? Perhaps something that would provide a web based interface for administering web sites.

Answer 1

You can use the Remote Administration (HTML) Tool that comes with Windows/IIS to accomplish this. Microsoft has a couple of relevant articles that cover this topic:
