Web Management Service

As explained in Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core

A Windows service for IIS that enables remote administration and deployment operations for web applications.

The Web Management Service enables remote administration of IIS and supports Web Deploy publishing and deployment. Configure it after creating the web application site. section 12.3.5

Configure the service in IIS Manager:

• Select the server root and open the Management Service panel. section 12.3.5
• Enable Remote Connections. section 12.3.5
• Click Start to run the service. section 12.3.5
• Change the startup mode through Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services if Web Deploy must work after every VM reboot. section 12.3.5

How Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core covers it

How deep it goes

Explains configuration steps and manual startup behavior, but does not descend into service internals.

Examples

Uses IIS Manager’s Management Service window to enable remote connections and start the service.

What it assumes

Assumes IIS Manager and a configured IIS website, while locating the service controls through the server root.

What you can do after

Operate/configure it by enabling remote connections, starting the service, and selecting an appropriate startup mode.

How it connects

Connects IIS, IIS Manager, Web Deploy, remote connections, and Windows service startup configuration.
