Reply Contact OK so let's say you are bringing in an app developer who really knows a lot about PhP apps in an Apache environment but knows much less about IIS and the command-line tools available for deployment and ongoing management.  What would you recommend they adopt as their new best friend(s)?  Web Management Service, PowerShell, something(s) else?

  Re: Which tools would you set up/recommend? Reply Contact All of the above, plus get to know the GUI.  Apache/Linux is a command line world (okay, Unix is, most Linux distros are GUI heavy...) but Windows has always been a GUI environment. Pretty much, I end up using multiple options, Appcmd is a major tool, as is Powershell.  I rarely use the web management service, but have a lot of scripts in VB Script that use WMI.  Your experience may vary of course.  :) Jeff Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com
