<br> The Web Management Service enables remote and delegated management capabilities for <br> administrators to manage for the Web server, sites and applications present on the machine. <br> <br> Note: This service is not installed by default. It is supplied with Windows, but is installed by enabling an optional Windows feature (Internet Information Services - Web Management Tools - IIS Management Service) <br> <br> Remote web administration of IIS on a workstation is an increased security risk, as the <br> attack surface of that workstation is then greatly increased. If proper security mitigations <br> are not followed, the chance of successful attack increases significantly. <br> Fixtext: <br> Fix: <br> (1) GPO: Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsSystem ServicesWeb Management Service <br> <br> (2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWMSvc!Start <br>
