The IIS Metabase Explorer provides a graphical user interface for viewing and editing IIS metabase stores. You can use Metabase Explorer to export and import keys and subkeys, copy keys and subkeys, edit security settings for keys, and compare records within the metabase.
This tool can be used to perform a wide variety of tasks to help you manage the IIS Metabase. For example, you can use it to back up or restore parts of the metabase. You can also use it to reset the default IIS Web site, or allow a non-administrator account to change the metabase by adding a restricted write access control list (ACL) to specific metabase nodes.
Metabase Explorer can be used to edit the metabase for IIS versions 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0, and lets you connect to both local and remote metabases.
To use Metabase Explorer, you’ll need to install the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools (see Knowledge Base article 840671 The IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools for download details).
MetabaseExplorer is compatible with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. It also requires Microsoft® .NET Framework version 1.1
