Security and IIS/DNS

[Matt]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup so my web guys only have access to DNS and IIS on
the web servers and so they don't have to terminal service into the
machines (like they do now). It's not really that huge of a deal that
they can't see the event logs/etc, I basically just want to get them off
having to terminal service in. My Question: What do I need to do to
allow them to be able to MMC into IIS and DNS as well?

If their user accounts have the appropriate rights to access IIS and DNS then they should be able to just load the appropriate snap-in to an MMC console and point them at the right server.

IIS - When I try to connect to one of the webservers I get:
Error connecting to: xxxx.xxxxx.net
Access is denied.

Strange... I'm logged in as Administrator to the domain yet it didn't
work, NOR did it ask me for a username/password.

Yup that's enabled =\

On your server run dcomcnfg and ensure that 'enable distributed com on this computer' is checked under 'default properties'.

Oh sorry; you need it enabled on the PC your accessing it from as well.
