IIS Admin Objects

Your custom programs can administer your IIS configuration by using the IIS Admin Objects to modify IIS configuration settings that are stored as data in the metabase. The structure of the metabase parallels the structure of your IIS installation, and the property inheritance feature of the metabase enables you to establish IIS configuration settings efficiently. The IIS Metabase topic provides details of how the metabase stores your configuration settings.

The IIS Admin Objects are COM Automation-based, and can be used with any language that supports Automation, such as Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JScript™ in ASP pages, Visual Basic, Java, or C++.

This section includes:

• About the IIS Admin Objects discusses the Object Hierarchy and ADSI Features.
• Using the IIS Admin Objects presents information about creating programs, and a Sample Program that displays the structure of your IIS installation.
• IIS Admin Objects Reference provides details of each object, specific object methods, and metabase properties accessible by the object.

For custom use and extension of the metabase with C++ programs, you can also use the IIS Admin Base Object.
