IIS Servant - a web based management tool for IIS Manager

Big kudos to  Jonas Hovgaard for building it and making it available for public.  IIS Servant gives you access to IIS manager and you can do most of the basic tasks related to web site creation and maintenance that you normally do through IIS manager.

It saves you the trouble of  remote desktop to your severs to open IIS manager and manage your web sites.
It allows you do all this management actions through a beautiful user interface.

 I installed it on some of our web server boxes .The installation is very simple and you can install it and start using it in a matter of few minutes.

I had a CNAME ready to use for the iismanager site it is going to create and I used that as 'servant url' during installation.

You can download it from servant io
Here is a screen shot of one of my servant IIS configurations ...
