Connecting to the Revit Server Administrator

You can remotely access the browser-based Revit Server Administrator by specifying the server name in the URL field described below.

You can limit access to the Revit Server Administrator using Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 for Windows Server. See Setting Up Administration Permissions.

Note: Launching the Revit Server Administrator prompts you to install Microsoft Silverlight on the local PC if it isn't already present.

To connect to the Revit Server Administrator for the first time

1. Complete the procedure for installing Revit Server. See Revit Server Installation.
2. In a browser window, enter the following: http://<ServerName>/RevitServerAdmin2014

   For example, if your server name is BstSrv, enter the following: http://BstSrv/RevitServerAdmin2014

   Ensure that you enter the correct server name in the specified location.

   Note: The server you specify in the URL can have the Host or Accelerator roles enabled as well, but it must have the Admin role enabled to run the Revit Server Administrator.

   The Revit Server Administrator web-based tool displays, showing those instances of Revit Server for which there is an entry in the server's RSN.ini file. Use the Add to Favorites option or create a shortcut for future access.

Note: Keyboard shortcuts available in Revit Server Administrator are not supported in Windows Internet Explorer 9 and 10.
