  Automate IIS 7 Reply Contact We currently use an in-house developed web based administration interface (control panel) for our customers to manage their IIS websites (and other products). It is currently working based on WMI with SQL 2005 as main engine (with service broker & web services). We are migrating to IIS 7 and want to prepaire the scripts for use with IIS 7.  What method/technology do you suggest to look into as the best method to automate IIS 7?  Best Regards!

  Re: Automate IIS 7 Reply Contact IIS 7 still supports IIS 6 compatible interfaces for WMI, but it also introduces a new WMI provider, http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/162/managing-sites-with-iis-7039s-wmi-provider/ The designer also makes it easier for web hosting usage, http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/31/hosting-guidance-for-the-microsoft-web-platform/ Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

It is not a replacement of existing IIS WMI/ADSI interface.
