Unable to see "Management Service" in IIS 10 (Windows 10)

Question

I have windows 10 (pro) and IIS 10 installed on Server A. I was trying to publish a Web API from Visual Studio 2015 on Machine B to Server A, but I get the following error.

web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("172.26.50.17"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

I understood from googling that the web server need to have Management Service installed and running. I have installed web platform installed and I can see that the "Web depoy 3.6 without bundled SQL support(latest)" component installed.

But I still do not see management service icon under "management" section on IIS. Could anyone please help me understand this?

Answer 1

I solved it by installing the Web Platform Installer (Web PI).

Then you can add a lot of tools using this Web PI. One of those tools is Management Service which can be enabled via Web PI.

If you do that, I still cannot see the Management Service, try closing and opening the IIS Manager again.
