Background

There are several issues with IIS Manager that you might not be able to use it to troubleshoot IIS configuration issues，

IIS Manager strictly requires administrator permissions.
When a site configuration contains errors, IIS Manager shows an error dialog that tells nothing useful. (A 500.19 error page would be showed when accessing such a site.)

Jexus Manager Benefits

Jexus Manager can run as a normal user to navigate the settings, and its exception dialog provides the same or even better error message when an error in configuration is detected.
