Mike Volodarsky on web server infrastructure, IIS, ASP.NET, and other such animals
If you have worked with IIS6 and previous versions of IIS, you are most likely familiar with the IIS metabase paths. You know, the ones that look like LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT. The concept of configuration paths changes significantly in IIS7 with the introduction of the new distributed configuration system, and I wanted to spend some time discussing the new configuration pathsto help you manage and operate your IIS7 server with ease.Read all about IIS7 configuration paths at
