To support administering Windows Media Services from remote computers, you have the option of installing Windows Media Services Administrator for the Web on a network server. The server may be a Windows Media server or any other computer running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, or Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition that has Internet Information Services (IIS) installed. Windows Media Services Administrator for the Web is a browser-based interface that uses Active Server Pages (ASP) hosted by IIS. This set of Active Server Pages is located under the Windows Media Administration site in IIS.
The following table shows the system requirements for the server hosting Windows Media Administrator for the Web.
