Command-Line Scripts for IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003
- IIS 6.0 includes supported scripts that you can find in the systemroot\System32 directory. These VBScript scripts use the IIS WMI provider to manage configuration settings in the IIS metabase.
- When you use these scripts to create a new site or virtual directory, you can specify the basic properties that are needed to create the site or directory and identify its contents. The scripts apply the same default properties that IIS Manager uses to create new sites or virtual directories, and they adhere to the same rules for inheriting properties.
- To configure more advanced properties for a site or virtual directory, use IIS Manager. Alternatively, you can build an XML template that contains the properties you want to apply to a new Web site or virtual directory and then use the Iiscnfg.vbs script to apply this template to any Web site or virtual directory in the IIS metabase.
- The computer that runs the command must be running Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional or Windows Server 2003. The computer that the command affects must be running Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0. You cannot use these scripts to manage IIS 6.0 on clients running Windows XP Professional because Windows XP runs with IIS 5.1.
