  1. Best Answer

    From this page on IIS Remote Mgmt, it appears you will need to add a registry key:

    reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server /v EnableRemoteManagement /t REG_DWORD /d 1

    To add a new regkey wiht powershell, try:

    New-Item -path Registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server\EnableRemoteManagement -PropertyType DWord -Value 1

    Please note this is not tested.

  2. The above PowerShell command may not work for you. Try this instead:

    Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server -Name EnableRemoteManagement -Value 1
