We have had to revoke Administrator accounts from all users that are not real
'System Administrators'. The problem is that several of these users do web
development and need to go in to IIS to modify settings/restart it, etc. Can
anyone tell me how this can be done without having the users use an SA
account. I did find the tool IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools and have downloaded
it, but when I follow the instructions to right click on a node, everything
is grayed out. Anyone have any idea of how this can be done. Thank you.

IIRC it can't. IIS7 will, I think, allow non-Administrator level admins.

Let me get this right, you "have had to revoke" admin powers, but
you want to find another way to grant admin powers over IIS ??
Does that sound right ?
What "node" shows all grayed out? Site nodes, vdirs, . . . ?

This doesn't sound strange at all. In fact that is why IIS 7.0 has come out
with the ability to assign rights based on delegation.
