How to change IIS TCP port programmatically

Hi,

I am looking for a way to change default IIS TCP port from say for eg. 80 to
8090. I need to be able to read the current setting and update it. I
understand how to do this using the MMC Snapin
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/313072, section on "Configure
the IIS IP address and port").

I have searched high and low in the IIS administration interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20 03/Library/IIS/cde669f1-5714-4159-af95-f334251c8cbd.mspx?mfr =true

and in IIS Metabase properties listed at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20 03/Library/IIS/cde669f1-5714-4159-af95-f334251c8cbd.mspx?mfr =true

I need to do this in C++, but any example in any scripting for a start is
accpetable.

Thanks in Advance

Re: How to change IIS TCP port programmatically

You want to change the ServerBindings property:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20 03/Library/IIS/cde669f1-5714-4159-af95-f334251c8cbd.mspx?mfr =true

I have an example that works with the ServerBindings property in C#. It
does almost what you want to do.

Re: How to change IIS TCP port programmatically

Hi Kristofer,

Thank you very much..
ServerBindings is the right property. (link:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20 03/Library/IIS/cde669f1-5714-4159-af95-f334251c8cbd.mspx?mfr =true).

btw, It was tricky using MULTISZ in C++ until I read carefully about the
double null terminators and the single null terminators on a LPBYTE (2 null
bytes for each)!!

Regards,
rasane
