Hi everyone,
I am writing an installer to install an ISAPI filter to the default website on IIS 5, 6 and 7. Do I need to restart IIS after adding the filter using ADSI? Please note that I am not adding the filter to the entire server as in the case of global filters. According to the MS documentation I have seen a restart is required for IIS 6 in case of global filters. It wasn't clear if its required for site specific filters.
If a restart is required is it enough to restart W3SVC service as opposed to restarting IISADMIN? I want to avoid having to discover other dependent services which are dependent on IISADMIN in the target machine. Is the answer the same for all three versions of IIS.
Thanks
Kamran
