Central administration

Hi,

I'd like to control the configuration of IIS from a remote computer, but I'm
struggling to see how I could change things like host headers for sites via
the command line, it would also be useful to be able to change the script
permissions on directories.

Does anyone have any tips for how I can do this?

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I have this already, but I was hoping to automate most of the tasks that are
required, such as turning scripting on or off, creating application pools
etc, just things that I would otherwise have to load IIS Admin for.

Re: Central administration

You can configure everything with scripts. Either use adsutil.vbs (or any
other of the vbs-files), or write your own script.

Oic, then yes, as Kristofer said, use adsutil.

You can use this tool to tweak LIST data types like Host Headers
(ServerBinding).

ADSUTIL.VBS and the list of Metabase properties should allow you to
automate all the other settings that you mentioned.
