Items in the ISM Are Missing or Appear Dimmed on Windows

In the Internet Service Manager (ISM), which loads the Internet Information Server snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), the following features are not available when you run Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 on Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and IIS 5.1 on Microsoft Windows XP:

• The Operators tab is not listed on the property sheet of the Web site.
• On the Directory Security tab, the Edit button in the IP address and domain name restrictions section appears dimmed.
• On the Performance tab, the Enable bandwidth throttling, Enable process throttling, and Enforce limits check boxes appear dimmed on a Windows 2000 Professional-based computer. The Performance tab is not listed on the property sheet of a Web site that is running on a Microsoft Windows XP Professional-based computer.

These features are not supported in IIS 5.0 running on a Windows 2000 Professional-based computer and IIS 5.1 running on a Windows XP Professional-based computer.

To use any of the features that are outlined in the "Symptoms" section, IIS must be installed on a server-based computer such as Windows 2000 Server.
