System Frontier includes built-in tools to manage IIS application pools and websites. To do so, it relies on the IIS Management Scripts and Tools role feature. Use one of the methods below to enable it on the target servers you want to manage.

Method 1: GUI install

• Open Server Manager on (or connected to) the target server.
• Navigate to Manage > Add Roles and Features > Web Server (IIS) > Management Tools
• Check the box for IIS Management Scripts and Tools
• Click Next to complete the installation.

Method 2: Command-line install

Open a PowerShell console using Run as administrator on the target server and run the following command:

Install-WindowsFeature Web-Scripting-Tools

You should see output similar to the following if successful:

Success Restart Needed Exit Code      Feature Result
------- -------------- ---------      --------------
True    No             Success        {IIS Management Scripts and Tools}

Next Steps

In System Frontier, navigate to the target server and click on the IIS tab. Then click Refresh under Application Pools or Website to see if the connection is successful now.
