I need to edit IP rules using the IP Address and Domain Restrictions feature in IIS 7.0, but on my Windows 7 machine this feature is not present in my IIS. Does anybody know how to go about adding this feature to IIS? I can't find a download anywhere...or a section in IIS to add features. Thanks :)

It may be a restriction of IIS on the client. Closest I could find was the Dynamic IP Module. I don't see that module on the web anywhere either.

HOWEVER:

You probably just don't have the feature enabled:

  1. Open the Control Panel
  2. Search for Programs and Features
  3. Select Turn Windows Features on or off
  4. Expand the IIS node
  5. Check out the security section, I think it falls under IP Security, either way it doesn't hurt to turn it all on, especially for a dev. environment.
