    Using Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll to administer IIS 6 servers

    Reply Contact

    Hey,

    I have an IIS 7 webserver and I'm using it as a proxy using ARR.

    The downstream webservers are IIS 6 and I want to run admin scripts from the proxy (using ServerManager.OpenRemote) to these servers.  For example, recycling app pools that kind of thing.

    Can the Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll administer IIS 6 servers?

    When I run my code I get...

     System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Retrieving the COM class factory for remote component with CLSID {2B72133B-3F5B-4602-8952-803546CE3344} from machine tes10web98 failed due to the following error: 80040154.

    Or perhaps the DLL needs installing on the remote server?

    No, Microsoft.Web.Administation can only admister to/from IIS7+ servers - you can install ABO compat on your IIS7 server and use ABO/ADSI to administer your IIS6 servers, or use WMI.
