Experience the four practical web interfaces in the Win 2003 system

The print server is one of the Windows Server 2003 servers and is an important part of resource sharing. In Windows Server 2003, if the print server has an IIS server installed, network users with permissions can manage the print server through a browser such as IE. Users in the domain can also install printers and manage their own printed documents through a browser. Wait. This convenient management mode is the "printer server web interface management method". The process of its implementation is as follows:

First install IIS 6.0 and related remote management components. Click "Start → Control Panel → Add /Remove Programs", click the "Add /Remove Windows Components" button in the "Add or Remove Programs" window, and then select "Application Server" in the "Windows Components Wizard" window that pops up.

Double-click "Application Server" and check "Internet Information Service (IIS)" in the pop-up window. Because you want to set up the printer server to manage using the web interface, you need to click the "Details" button. In the pop-up window, check the "Internet Printing" option to enable Web printing and management of the printer (Figure 1).

After the component is installed, you can enter http//print server name/printers/on any computer in the LAN (eg http//192.100.100.16/printers/) Go to the web interface management page of the printer server. On this page you can see all the printers and statuses on this server.

Web Interface for Terminal Servers

Terminal Server is a service that allows remote network users with permissions to log in to the server through the desktop interface. In general, we use the "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to connect the client to the terminal server.

In Windows Server 2003, users can use the IE browser (version 4.0 or higher) to connect, log in, and manage the terminal server by using the IE server with the terminal server. This feature is the "Remote Desktop Web Connection" feature that will be described below. Its main purpose is to allow administrators to connect to the terminal server through a web interface (browser) without having to install the "Remote Desktop Connection" program on each computer.

First install IIS 6.0, and double-click "Internet Information Service (IIS)" during the installation process, and select "World Wide Web Service" in the window that opens. Then double-click "World Wide Web Service" and select "Remote Desktop Web Connection" in the pop-up window to start installing the selected components.

After installing this component, you can access it by entering http//server IP address or name/tsweb/(eg http//192.100.100.16/tsweb/) in the IE address bar of the remote computer. The terminal server is gone. After entering the IP address of the server and setting the resolution in the "Remote Desktop Web Connection" page, click the "Connect" button to log in to the login interface of the terminal server. Enter the correct username and password to log in to the server's desktop environment.

Tip: If you are unable to connect to the terminal server, please confirm whether the remote desktop function of the terminal server is activated, ie right click on "My Computer", select "Properties" in the pop-up menu, in the properties In the "Remote" tab setting interface of the window, check "Allow users to connect to this computer remotely".

Web interface for streaming media server

In Windows Server 2003, it is very important to set up a Windows Media streaming server that supports both webcasting and video on demand. Easy things, but you never thought about it, we can also manage streaming servers through the web interface.

Select "Windows Media Services" in the "Windows Components Wizard" window, and enter the detailed settings window of this option, check the "Windows Media Services Manager for Web" item (Figure 2). From the "Windows Media Services Installation Warning" prompt that pops up, you can see that the currently selected component requires IIS 6.0 support. Click the "OK" button (IIS 6.0 components will be automatically selected).

After the above components are installed, you can enter the http//streaming server IP address 8080/in the IE browser address bar of the remote computer (eg http//192.100.100.16 8080/default.asp) Manage the streaming server using the web interface. After entering the URL and pressing the Enter key, you can see the Web Interface Management page of Windows Media Services.

For security reasons (to prevent other users from managing Windows Media Services), you can enter the URL http//192.100.100.168080/WMSLogOff when exiting the web interface management page. Asp to cancel this management.

Remote Maintenance Web Interface

The remote maintenance function is a very important function, which can help network administrators to complete the management and maintenance operations of multiple specific service items of the server through the Web interface. That is, remote access to the IIS 6.0 Web Interface Management page.

Select "Application Server", "Internet Information Service (IIS)", "World Wide Web Service" in the "Windows Component Wizard" window, and select "Remote Management (HTML) in "World Wide Web Service". ), and finally click the "OK" button to install the component.

After completing the above operation, you can enter the address "https://server name or IP address: 8098" on the LAN (you can only enter "https://server IP address" on the remote computer. :8098") to access the Web interface management page of Windows Server 2003 IIS 6.0.

On this page, you can view or configure the server's running log file, website IP address, DNS suffix, and domain. In addition, you can create, edit, and delete lists of users and groups on the server, and even remotely restart the server and shut down the server.

Through the explanation of the Web interface management example, do you feel that the Web interface management function of Windows Server 2003 is very powerful? But the author should emphasize that the Web interface management will be different due to the user's management. Level security risks, so please be careful to use the web interface management function.
