I am trying to deploy a simple web application to my client's
production server, but it's not clear to me how MS planned on having
the Security users managed without Studio.

Certainly someone has run into this issue. How do you manage users
(the ones you would normally manage with the Web Site Administration
Tool) without Studio to get you to the Web Site Administration Tool ?

Thanks for your help!

The Web Site Administration Tool is nothing more than a set of pre-built
ASP.NET 2.0 pages and resources that reside within the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_webadmin\2_0_XXXXX directory.
To enable and configure security, open the Web Site Administration Tool for
your newly created Web application: navigate to the application's URL and add
the WebAdmin.axd file to the end of the URL. For example:

http://myserver/mysite/WebAdmin.axd

Is there something special I need to choose in order to make sure that
the WebAdmin.axd file is deployed with the rest of my application?

It is not there in my current build.

WebAdmin.axd is a "Phantom resource" it doesn't actually exist as a file. So
the short answer is, no, you don't have to do anything.

I get a "resource not found error" when I try to go to webadmin.axd.
What could be wrong?

I'm having the same issue I was wondering if you were able to resolve this
problem because I get the same "resource not found error"

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Folks,
this stuff is all in the documentation. In Visual Studio 2005, Go to
"WebSite" at the very top menu, and choose "ASP.NET Configuration" from the
bottom of the list.

Yes Peter, I can get to ASP.NET Configuration from inside Visual Studio. That
is not my issue. I would like to know how I manage users once the application
is deployed without using the Visual Studio IDE. When I deploy a website I
should be able to manage the users from the site. How do I do that?
www.mysite.com/WebAdmin.axd does not work. It tells me The Resource cannot be
found.

Ah! Sorry about that. There are hacks, but I would not reproduce them.

I am having this same problem. MSDN states that there should also be a
directory under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ called aspnet_webadmin. I do not
have this. No amount of uninstalling IIS and ASP.NET (via
aspnet_regiis) fixes this. MSDN states if this directory is missing,
aspnet_regiis -i will fix it. This is not the case for me.

I can only run the ASP.NET webadmin tool via the IDE which links to an
odd port on localhost (i.e. http://localhost:1217/...). 1217 is made
up as I don't know what it is right now and there is a very lengthy URL
addition where the ellipses is typed.

Can someone please help? I cannot find anything on Microsoft's KB
site, or google groups for that matter.
