Source Code

Note: You will need to add a reference to System.DirectoryServices if you are using VisualStudio.net

using System;
using System.DirectoryServices;
namespace IISSample
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// 
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// 
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            const string WebServerSchema = "IIsWebServer"; // Case Sensitive
            string ServerName = "LocalHost";
            DirectoryEntry W3SVC = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + ServerName + "/w3svc");
            foreach (DirectoryEntry Site in W3SVC.Children)
            {
                if (Site.SchemaClassName == WebServerSchema)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("WebSite Instance ID : " +Site.Name);
                    foreach (string PropertyName in Site.Properties.PropertyNames)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(PropertyName);
                        PropertyValueCollection pvc = Site.Properties[PropertyName];
                        foreach(object Value in pvc)
                            Console.WriteLine("  " + Value.ToString());
                    }
                }
                Console.WriteLine("".PadRight(80, '-'));
            }
        }
    }
}

You can also do this for all of the IIS Classes such as:

IIsCertMapper	Maps certificates to Windows accounts.
IIsCompressionSchemes	Global settings for HTTP 1.1 compression schemes.
IIsCompressionScheme	Settings for individual compression schemes.
IIsComputer	Establishes global settings for IIS configuration.
IIsCustomLogModule	Sets properties for custom logging information field nodes.
IIsFilter	Provides information about a specific filter.
IIsFilters	Manages filters.
IIsFtpInfo	Establishes configuration properties for FTP servers in addition to those set at IIsFtpService.
IIsFtpServer	Establishes configuration properties for a single FTP server.
IIsFtpService	Establishes configuration properties common to all FTP servers.
IIsFtpVirtualDir	Sets properties for an individual FTP virtual directory.
IIsIPSecurity	A custom ADSI object you can use to set access permissions by IP address and domain address.
IIsLogModule	Contains information about a specific logging module.
IIsLogModules	Maintains information about installed logging modules.
IIsMimeMap	Manages Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) mappings.
IIsMimeType	Used to manipulate the list of valid MIME types.
IIsWebDirectory	Sets properties for an individual Web directory.
IIsWebFile	Sets properties for an individual Web file.
IIsWebInfo	Establishes configuration properties for Web servers in addition to those set at IIsWebService.
IIsWebServer	Establishes configuration properties for a single Web server.
IIsWebService	Establishes configuration properties common to all Web servers.
IIsWebVirtualDir	Sets properties for an individual Web virtual directory.

Note: Note all classes are available at all levels in the IIS Metabase Hierarchy - so you can not for example get an IIsVirtualDirectory at the same level as the IIsWebServer because it is a child element of an IIsWebServer

Trying to administer Front Page Server Extensions results in you being prompted to Log on

Chris Crowe — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 19:51:00 GMT

When you use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to administer a web site that is configured to use Host Headers on a computer that is running Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 Server SP1, you may receive an authentication dialog that will not accept any credentials that you enter.

This can be seen by right clicking a web site and try to configure the Front Page Server Extensions which will open.

This can be cuased by Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 which include a loopback check security feature that is designed to help prevent reflection attacks on your computer. Therefore, authentication fails if the FQDN that you use does not match the local computer name which if using host headers probably does not.

To work around this you could disable the loopback check

Follow these steps:

1.	Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2.	In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3.	Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4.	Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
5.	Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
6.	In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7.	Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

Front Page - Creating an RSS Feed for Your FrontPage Web Site

Chris Crowe [IIS MVP] — Thu, 08 Sep 2005 06:35:00 GMT

Microsoft has released a white paper on RSS and how to programmatically create an RSS file for your FrontPage 2003 Web site. The download that accompanies this article contains a VBA project and an XSLT file that you can use to generate and display RSS feeds

Many resources available on the Internet explain RSS and the various RSS schemas. Here are a few resources that you might find useful:
