I have IIS 5 installed on a windows 2000 member server. The IIS is working fine.

What I now need to do is to provide the ability for members of a localgroup (eg WebAdmins) to administer all IIS Function.

What follows is what I have done so far.

At the server properties I have added the local group (WebAdmins) in the Operators tab. This has flowed to the default website and the virtual webs.
I have allowed WebAdmins the ability to log on locally as well as access accross the network.
I have added WebAdmins with Full Control file permissions to the INET folder and all subfolders as well as the c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv folder tree.
The Directory Security is set to only use Windows NT Challenge.

When I connect to the IIS server using the IIS snap in I succesfully connect to the server but when I go to expand the Web Sites folder I receive a message stating "There are no items to show in this view". (Note when I connect using the IIS server admin credentials it all works fine)

Could someone please inform me of how to get a local group member able to administer the IIS without being a local administrator equivalent.

Regards
Peter Welsh

Nope. Not that it's a secret, just that it's not possible.
