Hi all...
Disclaimer: Some may argue that this belongs over at iis.net or msdn or technet... or even stack overflow... but I mostly hang out here so... ;)
I did actually pose this question many moons ago, possibly not here tho... it may have been directly to scottgu/scottha but I can't remember now... but the question went something like "IIS Express sounds amazing why would I ever want to use the dev engine again?" and the response went something like "No reason really, its IIS but running locally. In the future this (IIS Express) will probably be the default server for VS version next."
And so here I am today working on a site, creating web based projects and sure enough IIS express is the default for new projects, however I've just discovered something annoying...
I cannot run IIS Express getting "Cannot access the IIS metabase" for seems to imply policy/permission reasons... butonly when I'm not connected to the domain?!
Connected to the domain network, its perfectly happy to let me connect to IIS Express and work using that?!.
Aside from the fact that you can't do SSL stuff on dev environment(OOTB at least) its not a deal breaker, but it is annoying and surprising (also you can't fix this without going into the actual PROJ file and removing "Use IIS" from the top and bottom of the file and then "Reload" the project.
- Anyone else experience this?
- Anyone got thoughts as to why this might be happening and/or what I could say to our sysadmins/security types to relax things so that this doesn't happen?
- I wouldn't ask other than I remember the original speil of the IIS Express was that the permissions required were not high like those of "full" IIS.
