Every time I talk with customers in meetings or at conferences I’m struck by how many cool amazing new capabilities IIS7 has. I can go on for literally hours talking about the new features and benefits, and showing demos. And with each new IIS7 Extension , the list of new features just gets bigger and bigger. A few months ago I realized we didn’t have the top list of features written up anywhere, and so we started the process of distilling down the list to the top 10. We almost made it! We ended up with the top 12 reasons you should get IIS7 today. Check them out here: http://www.iis.net/getstarted Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding a cool demo for each of the reasons to show the features in action. Be sure to check back soon! Read More...
Spring is ugly in my job. From early March until late June I'm on the road. Conferences, Meetings, etc. Then when I finally get done my spring traveling.... There is "make up" work to do. I have to "make it up" to my two little princess and my wife. Work Read More......( read more ) Read More...
I am considering creating some videos showing some debugging tips. My original idea is to create short videos that just some doing some specific things. So not full debug sessions, but rather specific parts. So that when you are debugging Read More......( read more ) Read More...
Remote Administration and Delegation in IIS7 In this screencast, we configure our IIS7 server for remote administration and delegation. The remote administration service in IIS7 is a new and powerful feature that allows us to connect securely to our remote IIS server using a firewall-friendly SSL connection. Additionally, we can choose to use traditional Windows accounts for authentication or choose the new IIS Manager user accounts instead. We will walk through the steps you must perform as the IIS administrator as well as the experience for a remote administrator using delegated features. Failed Request Tracing on IIS7 In this screencast, we see how to configure our IIS7 server for Failed Request Tracing (sometimes called FREB). Failed Request Tracing is a powerful new capability in IIS7 that allows us to easily set rules on our web applications, that once triggered will log that request to disk and pull in all the relevant trace information. This feature is immensely useful for troubleshooting...

One of my favorite ASP.NET features is forms authentication, supported by the powerful membership system in ASP.NET 2.0. Back when I built Web applications for a living, I remember agonizing over the building the authentication support for my applications. What developer wants to spend time building authentication infrastructure, tying it intimately to a custom-built membership store, and subjecting your application and server to SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks, when you'd rather just focus on the app itself? I won't spin any longer on ASP.NET forms auth and membership virtues, but if you are new to these features, check out this content on Scott's blog. With the introduction of Integrated Pipeline in IIS7, ASP.NET Forms Auth and Membership just got a lot more powerful. Now it can be used with all types of content including classic ASP applications, Cold Fusion, PHP, Static files, or any other type of request. In this video, which I posted a few weeks back in preparation...
Beta 3 release marks the first time the FastCGI feature has been a part of a Windows release, enabling PHP and other application frameworks to run on Windows with great performance and reliability. Making them a part of IIS and Windows means no more downloading and installing other components, or worrying about whether the tools you are using are supported, patched and ready for production use. Video A few weeks back I posted a video on how to get FastCGI and PHP up and running, and use it with the output caching feature that I blogged about earlier. I show off a quick performance demo in the video - it is a great way to see how big of a difference FastCGI and Output Caching can make! Here you go (requires Silverlight ): var AppNameWrapperbe387aa07e644d8c90314c90b0c7cc93 = document.getElementById("AppNameWrapperbe387aa07e644d8c90314c90b0c7cc93"); CreateSilverlightbe387aa07e644d8c90314c90b0c7cc93(); Or you can download it: getting PHP running on FAST on IIS7 Beta 3 - 11mins 5sec ( Apple...
Setting file system permissions (or NTFS ACLs as they are also known) can be a real pain in the rear. Not only do you have to deal with sometimes complicated inheritance rules, but they don't copy easily - especially across machines, and they can easily get trashed or re-set unintentionally. Starting with IIS7, you can avoid setting file permissions on content as a way to protect it, and instead store the authorization rules in your application's web.config file. That means anywhere you copy the content, the authorization rules flow with it! Here are some basic facts to get it working: Install path : \IIS\World Wide Web Services\Security\URLAuthorization Requires : an authentication protocol (ASP.NET Forms authentication, Windows, Basic or Digest Authentication all work well) Configuration stored like this : <configuration> <system.webServer> <security> <authorization> <clear /> <add accessType="Allow" users="bill" /> </authorization> </security>...
