Hi,

Has the Scripts virtual directory been removed from IIS 6.0? In Windows
2000/IIS 5.0, it was
Inetpub\scripts.

Why has it been removed? What is the workaround to execute scripts? Simply
create your own
virtual directory, put your scripts in there and give it "Scripts and
Executables" permissions?

TIA,
Prasanna

Yup, it's gone.

Because there's no real need for it.

That's it, or just put them in the wwwroot path ...

It's not actually removed, it's just not installed as a default
folder.

 >Why has it been removed?

Security. Many attack scripts probe for the default scripts in the
scripts folder. Most IIS admins delete the folder immediately anyway
for that same reason.

 >What is the workaround to execute scripts?

Same as before. Put the scripts where you want and configure that
folder for script access. There's no magic to the folder name
"Scripts".

Scripts probably, executable if you need it. Only grant the access
level needed to run your script, nothing more.
