  Quick Edit of Metabase Reply Contact Hi, I am converting a webserver to run hostheaders. I would like to do this with as little disruption as possible. I was wondering if it is possible to run a script to edit the metabase file in order to just change the port numbers and add a host header to each entry.  I could completely recreate all sites however the problem I have is that when I recreate them it is likely folder names won't match up.  The other possibility is that I can print out a text file which contains the site url and the corresponding folder name. If I have this I can recreate the sites knowing they will point to the right place.   Any help is much appreciated!   Cheers Techchic   :D

If you would like to list all of them, you can enumerate the whole site. Those link contains example to show you how to enumerate with scripts.   Zhao Ji Ma Sincerely, Microsoft Online Community Support “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
