IIS evolution

Jeffrey Wall — Wed, 21 Apr 2004 19:21:00 GMT

It looks like this talk will be a GREAT discussion about the evolution and limitations of IIS from the perspective of the IIS team.

From the site:

Description:This session reviews the evolution of Internet Information Services (IIS) to its current iteration -- version 6.0 -- and how IIS 6.0 has measured up to customer expectations since its release in April 2003. IIS 6.0 built on a new architecture, but this architecture has a few areas where improvements can be built-in. The system administration capabilities include a new Edit-While-Running feature but the metabase has a difficult to read XML schema. The scalability lacks a clear path above 8 processors and IIS needs to optimize performance in this area. Up to, and including all of these, IIS 6.0 is a new and revolutionary product. This session will cover the delta between what was delivered and what has been learned and help you our customer know the areas where Microsoft needs to build for future IIS versions.

Log Parser

Jeffrey Wall — Tue, 16 Mar 2004 22:44:00 GMT

Log Parser is a great tool to sift through IIS web logs (or most any other structured data) for information.

Log Parser is freely downloadable online from www.microsoft.com/download (search for "IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools" for Log Parser 2.1, and search for "Log Parser" for Log Parser 2.0).

There is a webcast tomorrow, March 17th, 2004 at 11:30 PST about LogParser. Register at:

IIS Webcast

Jeffrey Wall — Mon, 12 Jan 2004 23:10:00 GMT

I was a developer on the IIS 6 team ( Windows Server 2003 ). I am no longer on the IIS team, but I try to pay attention to what they are doing.

The below webcast on the 15th looks like a great resource for understanding the evolution of IIS reliability strategy.

Plus - Chris Adams is an interesting guy - I can't think of a time when he wasn't carrying around a football around the office.
