hi,

IIS is being accessed only via administrator and power user. how can user
use it.

if in user mode, "http://localhost" tying does not perform any activity
and shows a page with only error contents.

pls suggest steps so that normal users account do have the facility to do
normal operation without making the them power user or administrator.

needs suggestion

IIS itself runs as LocalSystem

Accessing normal pages as a user should be fine. So, if you create a HTML
page and put it inside your website, you should be able to access it fine as
a normal user. Only if the webpage needs to perform a privileged action
(e.g. it starts/stops services, adds user etc) does the person accessing the
page need elevated privileges.

Cheers
Ken
