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...
Dave , a test lead at IIS, sent me a link to Puneet Gupta’s blog post about the Client Certificates UI that he developed. One of the more common requests we get on the IIS 7 UI team is for a Client Certificates UI Module. Puneet took advantage of the IIS 7 UI Extensibility and coded up neat working module.

I just ran across this Microsoft ISV Training Course that describes how to enable and use web application remote management. IIS 7's remote management is a really cool way to allow non-administrator users privileges to administer their sites and applications without having to ask a machine administrator to delegated tasks for them. According to the training, the difficulty is listed as 'Advanced' and the target audience is 'Technical', but I'm sure it'll be a breeze for people who frequent...( read more ) Read More...

A lot has changed in the IIS7 UI from IIS6, sometimes it can be hard to find out where to set certain things such as the execute permission for CGI's and ISAPI's. Yesterday, I was trying to get a CGI to execute, but couldn't find where to set it. In IIS7, you'll need to go to the Handler Mappings UI module, then click on "Edit Feature Permissions..." and then select Execute. Hope that helps. :) Dave...( read more ) Read More...

This is just an overview of my personal experience with IIS7’s Extensibility capabilities. I’m breaking this down into 3 sections: 1. Tips and Tricks with the GAC and how to avoid being confused 2. What’s in an Async Call? 3. Advantages of breaking the new module into two separate DLL’s 1: Tips and Tricks with the GAC This is more about troubleshooting your GAC entry and including your GAC information in the module provider section of administration.config. Recently, I ran into a problem with porting and modifying an experimental module and the GAC information was my sticking point. My problem was registering the module in administration.config. Here are the steps for making sure your module is in the GAC and in IIS: 1. Follow the steps given in the Extensibility Demos. Specifically, make sure that the binaries are signed and the Post-Build event is: CALL "%VS80COMNTOOLS%\vsvars32.bat" > NULL gacutil.exe /if "$(TargetPath)" 2. Use gacutil to determine the information needed for administration...
