How to make a Virtual directory in IIS7 as FPSE enabled?

  • Article

Go to the below mentioned location on x86 box through command prompt.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\50\bin>

Type the following command.
owsadm.exe -o create -w Test1 -p 80

-o = Operation to be performed.
-w = sub web to be extended.
-p = port to be used.

You can get more help on owsadm.exe by tying owsadm.exe -help.

Here we have to make sure that the name(alias) of the virtual directory and its physical path(folder name) are same.

On IIS6, we can enabled the Virtual directory as FPSE enabled by right clicking on the Virtual directory to be extended and then click on "Configure Server Extensions 2002".

Note:- We cannot extend(FPSE) the virtual directories which are pointing to remote location/UNC share.

Cheers :)
