we have IIS installed on his XP for him to test the applications. Currently
he is set as power user/debug user/VS developer. We do not want to set him
as local administrator, but it seems like that is only way he could access
IIS from MMC. I might of missed a KB article or some of the threads on this
forum regards to this issue. If you have any suggestions or solutions would
be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

A user needs to be in the local Administrators group in order to access IIS.
