I am a little unclear about how the Database Manager UI would work for remote clients. Would they need the IIS 7 administration tool installed and then connect to my server? If so that seems a bit clunky to me as not many people have IIS7 yet.

It would be nice to have something like a web-admin tool like phpMySql that would allow a company providing hosting to expose database administration without exposing the database. I guess people can write their own easier now using the webservices the admin pack though.

I installed the CTP on Vista and now I can't open IIS Manager. I'm seeing the error:

"Method not found: 'System.Collections.Generic.ICollection`1<System.String>Microsoft.Web.Management.Server.ManagementConfigurationPath.GetBindingProtocols(System.IServiceProvider)'."

Any ideas?

Note: I typed the error message while reading the window, might not be exact but should be really close.

UPDATE: I just read somewhere else that Vista SP1 may be required. I'll install it at the end of the work day and see if the error clears up.

To answer some of the questions posted here:

1) Indeed Windows Vista SP1 is required if installing in Windows Vista, unfortunately Setup did not block install on it.

2) Regarding Database Manager UI, one of the cool things you can do is enable Remote Management in a Windows 2008, and install Remote Manager on a client machine (which runs in Windows XP, and Windows 2003 and Vista SP1) and connect remotely to your Windows Server 2008 to manage SQL. Interestingly enough the client does not need anything from SQL and will communicate to the server through HTTPS (similar to web services) making it a firewall friendly solution for managing SQL Server. This is a great option for hosters and other customers that need to manage SQL over the internet.

We have also created a forum where you can post any questions you have and we will answer each and every one and will be able to track them:

Does the database manager tool use the credentials from the connection string in the web.config file, or prompt for new credentials? The user in the config file should be locked down, and not have access to modify the database structure or edit the raw data, so the tool would be severely limited without a separate admin login.

Also, it would be nice if we could expose the pre-built reports via a web page or reporting services report, for users who don't need administrative access to the site.

Hi Carlos - I commented this on ScottGu's blog but thought you might be more appropriate:

Hi Scott,

I had some bad luck trying the admin module preview today.

I am getting a DateTime parsing exception when using the IIS Reports section (I am wondering if it has been tested when the locale is not en-us). If course the actual web server log files are locale agnostic, so if it is a locale issue it could be a bug with the Windows Forms based module when the locale is not the US - just guessing?

Also I could not connect to a local database in the App_Data directory using the Database Manager module (strange given the Admin Tool has no problem accessing the same database using the ASP.NET roles and users features).

Anyway - I was just playing today, so no big deal. Obviously these are all great features, I look forward to another attempt when a more advanced beta is released. I understand these are early alpha releases ;-)

David, unfortunately we have a bug with the datetime handling and it repro's on non-english formats, more specifically in formats that do not use mm/dd/yyyy on it, so maybe one alternative for now its to change regional settings temporarily while launching inetmgr.exe and then reverting back, that should let you at least use it for now.

Again, sorry for that we have a fix, but are looking into the best channel for delivering it.

Does the database manager tool permit you to connect to connection string that's NOT in the web.config? Usually, one creates a very low-access user for use in their web.config connection string, and therefore connecting via that connection string would not be very fruitful if all the user could do was run stored procs.

Also, can the manager read connection strings that are in connection string sections that have been encrypted using machine keys?

Hi!

I've found a bug in IIS Reports UI.

You should read date from the log file in culture independent manner. It seems now you just use Date.Parse(dt).

"This extensible platform exposes a set of reports including some log parser based reports..."

How is it possible to extend (modify) these reports? I'm interested in the log parser based reports...

Thanks, Domokos

re: IIS Admin Pack Technical Preview 1 Released

CarlosAg — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:27:39 GMT

In the Technical Preview 1 version the extensibility API is not exposed, in the next release we will make this API public. Having said that, the API's currently focus on making the UI extensible and not the backend, meaning, we are exposing API's to insert your own reports into this page, we will do the rendering of the chart, the tabular display, give you printing support, exporting to CSV, Xml, etc, dynamic filters, etc, for free. You just need to return us the Data.

In this case LogParser might be a good option for those wanting to add more reports that come from the Log file. LogParser exposes a COM API that you can easily call from managed code.

You will have to download and use the release candidate bits since IIS Reports was removed from the IIS 7.0 Administration Pack 1.0 release.
