I have IIS 7.0 running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

I tried to Connect to Server with a server name of localhost.

It then prompts me for my login credentials. I type in the username and password that I use to log in to this Windows machine, but I get a message

Could not connect to the specified computer. Details: Unable to connect to the remote server

Why would it not be able to connect to the localhost? Does my account need to have Windows Administrator privileges?

    Need to have local administrator privileges, not just remote administrator.
