How to allow non-administrators to get website status?

Hi, all

I am trying to lock down our various development environements. We need to
give developers no rights (same as a user) in UAT. In IIS 6, only
administrators are able to work with IIS. What I need, then, is a way for
developers to view the status of a website (whether or not it's running)
while not being an admin. Is this possible (without having to program a new
interface)? Thanks!

It's possible to do that on IIS6, but IIS6 does not come with any
implementation of it. You will either have to write something simple
or find/purchase an existing implementation.

If you feel comfortable running another web site from one of the
servers, you can go here,http://www.windowsadminscripts.com/coding/
iisscripts/iisstatus/ and use this classic asp code. This will get the
status of the IIS Web/FTP/SMTP components. If you need to get the
status of all web sites on a certian server, you can use this classic
asp code, http://www.windowsadminscripts.com/coding/iisscripts/wwwsite /
.. Hope this helps.
