I have switched recently to windows 10 and have no clue if this is linked but my IIS doesn't seem to work as it used to. I previously had a remote connection to one of my website but every time I click its name in IIS it returns me an error: "Remote connections are not supported".
A quick check tells me that IIS Manager for Remote Administration is installed in its version 1.2. I have no idea what is happening and it is really frustrating because I cannot add any new website either.
To enable remote connections and allow connections from Windows users and IIS Manager users: In IIS Manager, in the Connections pane, click the server node in the tree. Double-click Management Service to open the Management Service feature page. Select the Enable remote connections check-box.
To enable remote connections using IIS Manager, click the server node in the tree view, open the Management Service feature, and check the Enable Remote Connections check box under Remote Connections.
The remote connection service uses an SSL certificate, but you can use another one if you imported it into the server's certificate store (you can create and use a self-signed SSL certificate using PoSh). Save the changes. Note. By default, the port 8172 is used for remote IIS management.
You will get this error if web management service is not installed and running on the IIS server you are trying to connect to. Error: Could Not Connect to the Specified Computer. To install it, login to the server you want to manage and open server manager. Select “Next” until you get to Server Roles.
I had a similar problem. I solved it by downloading and running "IIS Manager for Remote Administration 1.2" and doing a "Repair" operation. This did three things: 1) reduced the startup time for the IIS Manager dramatically, 2) added a "Start Page" root node in my IIS Manager Connections pane (I know this used to be there but I had not noticed it was missing after my Windows 10 update), and 3) fixed my remote connection node.
