TABLE OF CONTENTS The IIS Manager is the GUI interface for all IIS management functions, and the primary means for performing all IIS related management. However, command-line tools can also accomplish the same tasks that can be completed using the IIS Manager. These command-line tools are actually VBScript functions with *.VBS file extensions. The new IIS management commands include:
iisweb.vbs
iisftp.vbs
iisvdir.vbs
iisftpdr.vbs
iisback.vbs
iiscnfg.vbs
| Note | You will need to allow Windows Server 2003 to register cscript as the default script host for .VBS files to use these IIS management scripts. |
| Note | The following parameters are identical across all usages of the iis***.vbs utilities and will only be explained the first time in Table A.61: /s Computer, /u [Domain\]User, /p Password. |
The iisweb.vbs utility is used to manage Web sites in IIS 6.0 and uses the following top-level options:
iisweb /create
iisweb /delete
iisweb /start
iisweb /stop
iisweb /pause
iisweb /query
The iisweb /create command is used to create new IIS 6.0 Web sites and uses the following syntax:
iisweb /create <i class="emphasis">Path</i> <i class="emphasis">SiteName</i> [/b <i class="emphasis">Port</i>] [/i <i class="emphasis">IPAddress</i>] [/d <i class="emphasis">HostHeader</i>] [/dontstart] [/s <i class="emphasis">Computer</i> [/u [Domain\]User [/p <i class="emphasis">Password</i>]]
Table A.61 details the parameters associated with the iisweb /create command.
| Switch | Function |
|---|---|
| Path | Specifies the path to the Web site files. |
| SiteName | Specifies the name of the Web site. |
| /b Port | Specifies the port number that the Web site will answer requests on. |
