<br> Enables the server to administer the IIS metabase. The IIS metabase stores configuration <br> for the SMTP and FTP services. <br> <br> Note: This service is not installed by default. It is supplied with Windows, but is installed <br> by enabling an optional Windows feature (Internet Information Services). <br> <br> Note #2: An organization may choose to selectively grant exceptions to web developers to <br> allow IIS (or another web server) on their workstation, in order for them to locally test and <br> develop web pages. However, the organization should track those machines and ensure the <br> security controls and mitigations are kept up to date, to reduce risk of compromise. <br> <br> Hosting a website from a workstation is an increased security risk, as the attack surface of <br> that workstation is then greatly increased. If proper security mitigations are not followed, <br> the chance of successful attack increases significantly. <br> Note: This security concern applies to any web server application installed on a <br> workstation, not just IIS. <br>
