Hi,
After deploying to a IIS server could not find a way to start Web Admin Tool. Even VS2005 does not have a button/menu option to start it.

Souldn't it start directly using http://<server.com>/vdir/Webadmin.axd ?

Do I need to install/enable something?

(I'm using RTM version)

I would just build my own custom interface for this, but if you absolutely must use the web admin tool, the following is claimed to work:

Assuming .Net 2.0 is the framework being used, on your production server go to: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP. NETWebAdminFiles

Setup a Virtual Directory or new website on your production server

Make sure it is setup as .Net 2.0 site and is its own application.

Call the website and pass the applicationPhysicalPath on the QueryString to the root of your application (where the web.config is)

http://localhost:81/<virtual site name>/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=C:\Inetpub\ww wroot\MyWebSite\&applicationUrl=/

You can use the Login controls in the Visual Studio tool box to manage users and such, but I prefer to go further and create my own custom controls.
