All management and configuration is performed through the Management Console. You can even control and configure IIS remotely. The only thing that you have to be logged into the same machine for is to create a new site and that can be done via Terminal Services. If it is a completely remote site, you might have to access Terminal Server via a VPN. For these instructions, we will assume that you are not on the same LAN. Oh yes, you will have to have Administrator access.
