Does this modify the (what used to be) metabase? When dealing with several web servers in a cluster, will I still need to sync the metabases (or .config files) across nodes, or can I *finally* centralize all this on a NAS via UNC?

re: Microsoft.Web.Administration in IIS 7

David.Wang — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 15:32:25 GMT

Mark - IIS7 does not use the metabase to store configuration. It is totally within .config files.

There is a Legacy ABO Compatibility component (completely optional, but installed by default) which you can install to capture all legacy API calls to configure the metabase and transparently translate it into .config settings.

You will still need to synchronize config settings across servers in a cluster, though if you run the same command remotely it'd do the same.

I have yet to understand the need to have IIS read configuration from a UNC share vs ability to copy the same IIS configuration to multiple machines. They accomplish the same objective; you can view one as a local-cached version of the other. Central UNC share sounds cooler but is more fragile, so why???

In other words, suppose you get what you want -- the "centralized" config file on NAS via UNC. All that means is that after IIS calls CreateFile to get a handle to the file, read/write to the file can now RANDOMLY fail as IIS works with various sections of the file (and underneath the scenes, network traffic is getting used to fulfill the read/write).

What should IIS do? Bail on first error? Bail after retrying 5 times in 5 seconds (but suppose you are modifying config -- where do they go)? Cache the change locally and periodically propagate back to the UNC (but explain how this is any better than IIS reading local .config file and a separate "syncing" service periodically syncing changes between multiple locations?

In other words -- please explain your real scenario and requirements, not how you think we should implement things.

David,

Say, for example, you have several IIS nodes behind a load balancer. Then, you expose a user-facing control panel application that modifies the metabase for a feature like Application Roots, for example. This requires the replication of the "master" metabase (the one where the control panel made the change) to all the "slave" IIS nodes. This can't occur realtime because of the sheer volume of updates occurring to the metabase. So, you have to replicate on a schedule - say, every 5 minutes. David,

What a NAS/UNC based configuration store (metabase) buys you is a way out of the replication scenario. However, there still exists the random fail issue as you described. Ideally, I’d like to see a realtime replication method similar to Active Directory. Here, there are multiple peer nodes, where any change is replicated to the other nodes. Maybe this can be accomplished via a pure in-memory database with replication via two-phase commit across IIS nodes. Maybe a heartbeat service between IIS nodes? Just brainstorming here.

How about adding a "re-read config files" function to allow central config storage and after editing the config, telling each machine to re-read the file to flush the servers internal cache?

Yes, you can use it to manage IIS 7 running in Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008 but only from a client running Windows Vista SP1 or Windows Server 2008. The way to do it is creating a ServerManager like this:

ServerManager remoteManager = ServerManager.OpenRemote("yourServer");

When using FTP 7.0 with IIS 7.0 and using Microsoft.Web.Administration how do add ftp settings to a web site? Or do I have to manually edit the .config files xml to add it?

If not supported, would this feature be supported in future?

re: Microsoft.Web.Administration in IIS 7

CarlosAg — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:26:17 GMT

You can absolutely use Microsoft.Web.Administration for that, however you will either need to use the loosely typed model (ConfigurationSection, ConfigurationElement, etc) or you will need to create your own strongly typed classes for it.

For example if you want to set something in the site, you can use:

ConfigurationElement ftpServer =ServerManager.Sites["Default Web Site"].GetChildElement("ftpServer");

And then use that for anything you need, also FTP defines several sections as well that you can use GetSection() over a Configuration object.

Hi Carlos ,

I am facing that create a virtual director from C# code without having admin previliages the code is

System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry oDE;

System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries oDC;

System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry oVirDir;

oVirDir = null;

try

{

// check whether to create FTP or IIS virtual directory

if (IsFTP)

{

oDE = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + deploymentServerName + "/MSFTPSVC/1/Root");

}

else

{

oDE = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + deploymentServerName + "/W3SVC/1/Root");

}

try

{

string directoryEntryNameStr = oDE.Name;

}

now tell me a solution when I can create a virtual directory without being admin to windows Vista.

I clicked IIS6.0 metadata and configuration compatibilty and manament from window feature on/off/

re: Microsoft.Web.Administration in IIS 7

CarlosAg — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:37:20 GMT

For security reasons you cannot add a virtual directory unless you are an administrator.

You can imagine that if a non-administrator was able to expose a random directory over the URL namespace of the site would be a bad idea.

Can we use the Microsoft.Web.Administration from a Windows Server 2008 to remotely manage IIS 6 running on Windows Server 2003? Where is the Microsoft.Web.Administration located? Is it part of .Net or Windows?

re: Microsoft.Web.Administration in IIS 7

Unfortunately you can only use it to manage a Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2 server.

It is not distributed with .net but instead is part of IIS.
