IIS6 Web Service Extensions HELP

I need to install an application to a Windows 2003 Server
using nstallShield and want to try to automate the setup
of the Web Service Extensions in IIS6 by script file or
something, this would avoid having to ask the end user to
make these changes manually.

Any help on this mater would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

Very good question!

I'd suggest you can use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to
perform these management operation for your customers. WMI is a scalable
system management infrastructure that uses a single consistent,
standards-based, extensible, object-oriented interface. WMI provides you
with a standard way to interact with system management information and the
underlying WMI APIs. The online documentation of WMI for IIS can be
obtained from Microsoft.com. Please go to:

You can also check some *.vbs management tools provided with IIS6. They are
located in %systemRoot%\system32 by default which are all written in WMI
API. I think they can help you a lot.

Does this answer your question? Thank you for using Microsoft NewsGroup!
