HOWTO: List all Virtual Directories and Paths of a List of Servers

  • Artikel

Question:

I need to audit web servers in my domain, and would like to be able to connect to each server, and enumerate the virtual directories -- ultimately leading to a link to each web site hosted by the server. Can this code be modified to get that information?

Thanks.

Answer:

Yes, you can modify that code to get this information, but if you just want a list of virtual directories on a server, you don't need to write any script code to do it. At the end of this blog entry is one way, using a simple batch file, to get this information using ADSUTIL.VBS, a built-in script. Just make sure to provide the right filepath for CMD_ADSUTIL. And of course, the user running the script must have administrator privileges to enumerate the IIS metabase on all required servers.

This batch file accepts one optional input parameter.

  • If you provide no parameter, it will enumerate all vdirs and their respective physical paths of the local computer
  • If you provide a computer name, it will enumerate all vdirs of that computer
  • If you provide a filepath, it will treat each line of the file as a computer name and enumerate all its vdirs

Since I often see this feature requested, I decided to show one simple way to turn a script which takes a server name as input into one that loops through a list of server names stored in a text file, one server name on each line. This should hopefully be illustrative enough of the powerful combination of both VBScript/JScript and Batch script.

Sample usage:

 C:\>enumvdirs -?
enumvdirs [servername | file-list]

Where:
    servername is the name of the server to query. DAVIDWANG by default
    file-list is filepath to text file containing list of servers, one per line

C:\>enumvdirs DAVIDWANG
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT/IISHelp = "c:\windows\help\iishelp"
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Printers = "C:\WINDOWS\web\printers"
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Scripts = "C:\Inetpub\Scripts"

C:\>ECHO %COMPUTERNAME% > ListOfServers.txt

C:\>TYPE ListOfServers.txt
DAVIDWANG

C:\>enumvdirs ListOfServers.txt
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot"
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT/IISHelp = "c:\windows\help\iishelp"
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Printers = "C:\WINDOWS\web\printers"
DAVIDWANG/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Scripts = "C:\Inetpub\Scripts"

Enjoy.

 @IF NOT DEFINED _ECHO ECHO OFF

SET CMD_ADSUTIL=CSCRIPT.EXE //Nologo %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Inetpub\Adminscripts\ADSUTIL.VBS

SET SERVERS="%1"
IF ?%1? EQU ?? SET SERVERS="%COMPUTERNAME%"
IF EXIST %SERVERS% SET SERVERS=%SERVERS:~1,-1%

SET NEED_HELP=%SERVERS:?=%
IF /I "%NEED_HELP%" NEQ "%SERVERS%" GOTO :Help

FOR /F %%A IN ( %SERVERS% ) DO (
    FOR /F "usebackq skip=1 tokens=*" %%I IN ( `%CMD_ADSUTIL% FIND %PROPERTY_TO_FIND% -s:%%A` ) DO (
        FOR /F "usebackq tokens=3,*" %%J IN ( `%CMD_ADSUTIL% GET %%I/%PROPERTY_TO_FIND% -s:%%A` ) DO (
            ECHO %%A/%%I = %%K
        )
    )
)

ENDLOCAL
GOTO :EOF



:Help
ECHO %0 [servername ^| file-list]
ECHO.
ECHO Where:
ECHO     servername is the name of the server to query. %COMPUTERNAME% by default
ECHO     file-list is filepath to text file containing list of servers, one per line

GOTO :EOF

    @Deathtospam It's not actually a VBScript. It's a DOS batch file. Save it as "enumvdirs.bat" Worked great for me. Thanks David.

    Hi David, Thanks for that script, but could you please describe the below loop that you are implementing. I dint get the logic entirely. I have used the script though :D FOR /F %%A IN ( %SERVERS% ) DO (    FOR /F "usebackq skip=1 tokens=" %%I IN ( %CMD_ADSUTIL% FIND %PROPERTY_TO_FIND% -s:%%A ) DO (        FOR /F "usebackq tokens=3," %%J IN ( %CMD_ADSUTIL% GET %%I/%PROPERTY_TO_FIND% -s:%%A ) DO (            ECHO %%A/%%I = %%K        )    ) ) Thanks!

    CScript C:WINDOWSsystem32iisweb.vbs /query The above command will display all website and its status.  But I dont know how to include Virtual Directories also in that output.   Any idea? Thanks, Junu.

    Hello, It is excellent to list the Web Sites but what about the Virtual Directories? Thanks, DOm
