I am putting together a server build documentation and script for an IIS server that I didn't initially build and for which I have no build instructions.

Is there any way to back up all the IIS install configuration options so that I can make this part of an automated build script?

Hi,

This really depends on what version of IIS you are talking about. IIS 6.0
allows you to export the metabase using a custom password to encrypt
sensitive information in the metabase - you will need this password when
restoring this backup.

Information in previous versions of IIS are encrypted using the machine key,
which changes between installations of Windows. Any metabase.bin backup can
only be restored to the same machine that it was backed up from.

That said, there are some third party tools that can allow you to back this
up - I can't think of their names OTOH, but I'm sure someone else can chime
in, or you can google.

Hint:

set MyIIS = GetObject("IIS://Localhost")
MyIIS.Backup "",MD_BACKUP_NEXT_VERSION,0
