By default in Windows Server 2008 when you are using the Web Management Service (WMSVC) and Web Deploy (also known as MSDeploy) it will use Basic authentication to perform your deployments. If you want to enable Windows Authentication you will need to set a registry key so that the Web Management Service also supports using NTLM. To do this, update the registry on the server by adding a DWORD key named " WindowsAuthenticationEnabled " under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WebManagement...( read more ) Read More...
One thing that I’ve been asked several times about the SEO Toolkit is if it does a full standards validation on the markup and content that is processed, and if not, to add support for more comprehensive standards validation, in particular XHTML and HTML 4.01. Currently the markup validation performed by the SEO Toolkit is really simple, its main goal is to make sure that the markup is correctly organized, for example that things like <b><i>Test</b></i> are not found in the...( read more ) Read More...
Last week we released a refresh for the IIS Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Toolkit v1.0. This version is a minor update that includes fixes for all the important bugs reported in the IIS.NET SEO Forum . Some of the fixes included in this version are: Pages sending the XHTML content type 'application/xhtml+xml' are not parsed correctly as HTML causing their links and violations to be empty. Report Analysis fails if the META tags include certain characters. <style> tag is not parsed correctly...( read more ) Read More...
Sample SEO Toolkit CrawlerModule Extensibility In this blog we are going to write an example on how to extend the SEO Toolkit functionality, so for that we are going to pretend our company has a large Web site that includes several images, and now we are interested in making sure all of them comply to a certain standard, lets say all of them should be smaller than 1024x768 pixels and that the quality of the images is no less than 16 bits per pixel. Additionally we would also like to be able to make...( read more ) Read More...
The IIS SEO Toolkit includes a lot of functionality built-in such as built-in violation rules, processing of different content types (like HTML, CSS, RSS, etc) and more, however it might not do all the things that you would need it to do, for example, it might not process a set of documents that you use, or it might not gather all the information that you are interested in while processing a document. The good news is that it includes enough extensibility to let you build on top of its rich capabilities...( read more ) Read More...
In the new version of the IIS SEO Toolkit we added two new reports that are very interesting, both from an SEO perspective as well as from user experience and site organization. These reports are located in the Links category of the reports Redirects This report shows a summary of all the redirects that were found while crawling the Web site. The first column (Linking-URL) is the URL that was visited that resulted in redirection to the Linked-URL (second column). The third column (Linking-Status...( read more ) Read More...

The Web Deployment Tool provides a way to delegate application creation to non-Administrator Windows users or IIS users. This blog covers how to configure this particular delegated setting. If you have not yet set up some users, or are not familiar with remote administration, I highly recommend going through this walkthrough: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/159/configuring-remote-administration-and-feature-delegation-in-iis-70/ before trying out these steps. Server Admin Steps 1. Install the Web Deployment Tool (MSDeploy) Use the Web Platform Installer (can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx ) Run and choose Web Deployment Tool 1.0 and click Install. This will also pull in any dependencies you don’t already have on your system. NOTE: This might take a while if you are missing a lot of dependencies (particularly the Windows Installer 4.5 – as this may require a restart) 2. Launch Inetmgr Click Start and type inetmgr. Press Enter. 3. Open Management Service...
One of my favorites features in the IIS Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Toolkit is what we called Report Comparison. Report Comparison basically allows you to compare two different versions of the results of crawling the same site to see what changed in between. This is a really convenient way to track not only changes in terms of SEO violations but also to be able to compare any attributes on the pages such as Title, Heading, Description, Links, Violations, etc. How to access the feature There...( read more ) Read More...
This blog outlines the basic steps for setting up IIS Manager accounts so that they may be used for Web Deployment Tool delegation. Most of the steps particular to using IIS Manager users for delegation are required for connecting remotely using the Windows Management service, so if there are already accounts set up for remote management, that work has already been done. The following steps will allow IIS Manager accounts to be used for management service delegation. Step-by-step instructions with screen shots may be found for steps 1 through 4 on this page, with their section title added in parenthesis : http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/159/configuring-remote-administration-and-feature-delegation-in-iis-70/ 1. Make sure that Windows Management Service is installed ( Configuring Remote Connections in IIS Manager ) 2. Enable remote connections for IIS users ( Enable Remote Connections and Configure Identity Credentials ) The previous steps only need to be performed once, however the following...
