Is there any way someone can remotely get stats on a windows NT4 SP6 (IIS) webserver through FTP or an auto-published website? I need information on services running and a way to view the event log, but don't want to actually take the trip down to the server each time.
 
I dont know what your using your sever for, but i use RealVNC to see my server's desktop on my computer, that way i can do anything i want to it, remotely. Now, some people would be worried about security, but you can lock it down pretty good. You can restrict who connects by IP address, and a password, and then you set it to automatically "lock" windows(2000/xp) when closing, which means if someone connects they need your windows password to do anything. Oh, also you can change the default port so port scans are less likely.
 
Unfortunately, that's kind of out of the question. The server is a production web server running on an enterprise network separate from the one i'm on. So i can't use computer management tools to access the event logs or services or anything. I'm thinking there must be a way to access that remotely. Web app, perhaps?
 
usually the logs are buried in c:\winnt\system32\logfiles\

if you can get to that folder, you can do log shipping or run stats straight from the logfiles.

The logfiles are horrible if you view it raw. I don;t know of any product to view raw ftp logs on IIS, but if you can find one it will definitely help your eyes 🙂
