Introduction ¶

The Internet Information Services (IIS) Inetinfo Remote Protocol is a remote procedure call (RPC)–based client/server protocol that is used for managing Internet protocol servers such as those hosted by Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Managed servers can include servers for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or other Internet protocols. For more information on IIS, see [MSDN-IIS].

The universally unique identifier (UUID) for the IIS Inetinfo Remote Protocol interface is {82ad4280-036b-11cf-972c-00aa006887b0}.

The version for this interface is 2.0.

Overview ¶

The Internet Information Services (IIS) Inetinfo Remote Protocol provides functions that allow remote administration and statistics gathering from an Internet protocol server such as a server implementing the HTTP or FTP protocol. The protocol provides methods for gathering statistical data on users, sites, requests, and performance. For more information about HTTP and securing HTTP connections, see [RFC2068] and [RFC2818].

The server does not maintain client state information. Although some client call sequences might be logically related, the protocol operation is stateless.
