Unable to see "Management Service" in IIS 10 (Windows 10)

Question

I have windows 10 (pro) and IIS 10 installed on Server A. I was trying to publish a Web API from Visual Studio 2015 on Machine B to Server A, but I get the following error.

web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("172.26.50.17") . On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

I understood from googling that the web server need to have Management Service installed and running. I have installed web platform installed and I can see that the "Web depoy 3.6 without bundled SQL support(latest)" component installed.

But I still do not see management service icon under "management" section on IIS. Could anyone please help me understand this?

Answer 1

I solved it by installing the Web Platform Installer (Web PI).

Then you can add a lot of tools using this Web PI. One of those tools is Management Service which can be enabled via Web PI.

If you do that, I still cannot see the Management Service, try closing and opening the IIS Manager again.
