Iisext.vbs: IIS Web service extension script

Configures and manages Web service extensions, applications, and individual files on servers running Windows Server 2003 with Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. Administrators can use this script to enable and list applications; add and remove application dependencies; enable, disable, and list Web service extensions; and add, remove, enable, disable, and list individual files.

To view the command syntax, click a command:

iisext /enapp

iisext /listapp

iisext /adddep, /remdep

iisext /enext, /disext

iisext /listext

iisext /addfile

iisext /enfile, /disfile, /rmfile

iisext /listfile

iisext /enapp

Enables a specific application in the ApplicationDependencies metabase property.

Syntax

iisext[.vbs] /enapp Application [/s Computer [/u [Domain**\]User [/p** Password]]]

Parameters
  • Application
    Required. Specifies the name of the application to be enabled.
  • /s Computer
    Runs the script on the specified remote computer. Type the computer name or IP address without backslashes. By default, the script runs on the local computer.
  • /u [Domain\]User
    Runs the script with the permissions of the specified user account. This account must be a member of the Administrators group on the remote computer. By default, the script runs with the permissions of the current user of the local computer.
  • /p Password
    Specifies the password of the user account specified in the /u parameter. If you omit this parameter, the script prompts you for the password and obscures the text you type.
Remarks

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

  • This operation applies to entries in the ApplicationDependencies metabase property and is used to manage the Web service extensions an application depends upon. A Web service extension is any combination of CGI or ISAPI files that extend IIS functionality.

  • An application must have at least one preexisting dependency in the ApplicationDependencies metabase property in order to be enabled.
