Developer tool for configuring IIS6
- by Marc Gravell
edit: IIS6; I'm not sure IIS7 is an option in the immediate future...
From a developer angle, I am constantly changing my IIS settings, or need to merge settings from other teams into different VMs. The "Save Configuration to Disk" has never really worked well for me.
Because we are making lots of small changes, web installation projects have never really worked either... Tools aimed for the web-admin aren't necessarily a good fit for the developer - we have different aims and needs.
Does anyone have a script / tool / utility that would allow us to quickly configure IIS? In particular:
remove everything (start clean)
add a load of virtual directories, each mapped to application base paths
set as an application
set the app-pool (we'll assume the app pool already exists)
set the ASP.NET version to 2.x if needed
from some find of flat input list (any format would do).
