WinRM installation and IIS

[Guest TripleSticks]

This may not be the appropriate forum for this question, so if it isn't I

apologize ahead of time. Any help in what forum it belongs in would be

appreciated.

 

We have been prototyping an application with WinRM and have been very happy

with it's capabilities. However, it seems to require IIS be running on the

Windows 2003 Server that you are attempting to manage. After re-reading the

System Requirements on the download page and looking through the MS WinRM

information I see no mention of this anywhere. However, if you look at the

WinRM service it clearly has a dependency on the IIS Admin Service.

 

We are trying to manage member servers that don't have IIS installed on them

and for security reasons are not able to irun IIS on them. Does anyone know

if this is actually a requirement or can we install/configure WinRM to run

w/o IIS?

 

Thanks,

[Guest Steve Goddard]

RE: WinRM installation and IIS

 

You can install IIS Admin without installing IIS, it's just a case of

clicking details on application server far down enough - I think it install

common components but not the whole IIS so does reduce your surface attack

area.
