SUMMARY

It is possible to use Internet Service Manager to manage Internet Information
Servers in remote locations provided that you have proper administrative
privileges. This includes not only Internet Information Servers on your Local
Area Network (LAN) but also across the Internet.

However if the Internet service manager and the remote Internet Information
Server in the different subnets separated from routers, Internet service manager
may not be able to see the remote Internet Information Server.
