Explanation (?): |
The IIS admin service is the heart of Microsoft's Internet serving features. Through this service you are able to configure the different components of Internet content serving, and without this service you will not be able to host HTTP, FTP, NNTP, or SMTP sites. If you are running a server and you need to use any Internet service then you will want to enable this service. If you do not wish to use this service you can safely disable it, however I highly recommend that you should uninstall it through the add/remove components dialog instead. |

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." --Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger
