IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate is missing the Management Service icon which is present in IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
Is it possible to enable it, or is it possible to access the Management Service configuration panel in another way?

Edit 1:

After enabling Web Management Service on both Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition 64 bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, I got the following result:

IIS Manager running on the Win 2008 provides the following icons

But IIS Manager running on the Win 7 provides only the following icons

Remote Administration against a Windows client SKU (like Windows 7 or Windows Vista) is not supported (WMSVC will not allow connections). That means that the Management Service UI is not required not supported on those SKUs. If you want to allow Web Deploy support to do remote publishing to client SKUs you will need to use the Web Deploy remote service.

IIS 7.5 Warning : Cannot verify access to the path

for the error you are receiving

you'll probably need to look at using a local user account on each system with the same name and password. When you connect from ServerA to ServerB, which based your description are in a workgroup , having the same user id and password will help get over authentication issues between machines.

Another option would be to look at NULL sessions, which in itself is a security risk. Here is more information on NULL sessions.

I would recommend going the route of using local accounts with the same password.

if you still have the message, try this

In ADD VIRTUAL DIRECTORY, select CONNECT AS and enter an administrator and the pass. Then all should be allowed or enter a user who has full access to the location
