HOWTO: Enumerate IIS website configuration (VBScript using ADSI)

아티클
07/14/2005

A powerful but often under-utilized and misunderstood feature of IIS is its programmatic configuration APIs. On the one hand, all IIS administrative APIs allow programmatic, automated, and unattend configuration of IIS. On the other hand, it can be hard to choose which administration model (and resulting API) to use, and sample code to get started on the interfaces are hard to come by, as the following question illustrates...

Question:

Hi, all.

My ultimate goal is to script out a solution which you would get if you opened up IISAdmin and exported the website list to a file. If someone knows of where something like that can be found, please let me in on it.

I've manage to cobble the below together after several hours of rooting through Google and the MSDN pages...

Set IISOBJ = getObject("IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC")
For each Object in IISOBJ
if (Object.Class = "IIsWebServer") then
WScript.Echo "server name? " & " Description " &
Object.ServerComment & " Identifier " & Object.Name & " State, up or
down? " & Object.ServerState & " Headers? " & " IP address? " & " port?
" & " SSL Port? "
end if
next

I think I'm spinning my wheels at this point, there's a number of items I'm still missing, like getting a website state, headers, site IP address and port information. Any thoughts or good pointers on how to get it?

I've got a decade more unix scripting knowledge under my belt, but it's pretty useless to me in this instance.

Thanks for your time.

Answer:

Well, hopefully, you do not need to look further than here. :-)

Based on your example code, it appears that you are looking for a VBScript based script using the IIS ADSI API. I whipped together a fairly detailed starter sample at the end of this entry to do what you are asking for, including:

Enumerate all websites on a given server or a remote server (assumes running user has necessary credentials on remote server).
Display all HTTP/HTTPS bindings of each website (IP, Port, Host Header)
Runtime state (such as whether the website is started, stopped, paused, etc)
Some other properties, like Log file directory and friendly website description

This sample should have enough details to get you started. Use <EnumWebSites.vbs> [RemoteServerName] to enumerate websites on a remote server.

Example output:

 Enumerating websites on localhost

Site ID = 1
Comment = "Default WebSite"
State   = Started (MD_SERVER_STATE_STARTED)
LogDir  = %WinDir%\System32\LogFiles
IP Address      Port    Host
All Unassigned  80      *
1.2.3.4         81      *
12.34.56.78     82      HostHeader
All Unassigned  443     *

Site ID = 2
Comment = "Administration Web Site"
State   = Started (MD_SERVER_STATE_STOPPED)
LogDir  = %WinDir%\System32\LogFiles
IP Address      Port    Host
All Unassigned  8734    *
All Unassigned  443     *

Here are some other useful links (if you want to enumerate other website properties or even other objects like Virtual Directories or Web Applications):

IIS ADSI Object Model Diagram (top-level view of the names and relations of various IIS administration objects).
Documentation for IIsWebServer object (documentation for the IIsWebServer object, which is most pertinent to this question. You can find documentation for the other objects nearby).
Script Center (lots of script snippets, but not a whole lot of hand-holding explanations)
Simple script tool to edit IIS LIST objects

If you have other questions, feel free to post comments on this post or send them via the blog's "contact" link.

Enjoy.

Levi - Make sure that IIS is actually installed on the machine you are trying to launch the script (the workstation).

Since the GetObject() syntax is ADSI, it requires the IIS ADSI provider to be installed on both the local and remote machine... even if you are only trying to get a remote ADSI object.

Hung_Ngo - I suggest reading Microsoft's MSDN online for the information you want, especially Script Center, which contains tons of sample script code to do just about every action for many Microsoft products.

I do not understand what you mean by "stop and start SSL service on a particular page" - please clarify what you are trying to do.

How do you get the output to a text file - instead of the gui pop screens?

Mike - Windows support running scripts in multiple "hosts" which may display output either in a console window or as popup dialogs.

Default host is WSCRIPT, which shows popup dialogs.

You want to use CSCRIPT, which shows output to console window and can be piped into a text file.

Either:
1. Launch the script one-time with CSCRIPT.EXE:
CSCRIPT EnumWebsites.vbs
2. Change the default script host to CSCRIPT with:
CSCRIPT //h:cscript
EnumWebsites.vbs

David, the website is awesome. thanks for your effort and answering the kinds of IIS questions that dont seem to have been answered in the last 10 years.

Am I missing something? There seems to be no iterators for active sessions in the IIS model. I can find the "active session count", but, can't find a collection of sessions that can be iterated. Does such a collection exist?
Anonymous
June 12, 2006
MikeMontana - there are no APIs to retrieve current runtime state, like "active sessions" in IIS. Technically, IIS has no idea about "sessions" - it only knows about requests and connections - so application frameworks like ASP/ASP.Net can offer such behavior, which is completely up to the individual frameworks.

Hi David, I need get the latest created Site ID. The iisweb create a site with random large number, we don't want to use these number for site ID. Instead we want to use sequence number, for example, 1,2,3,4. We want to use script to get the largest sequence number among all the IIS web sites, then use createNewSite by passing this SITEID +1 into the parameters. Could you provide the script for us to find the latest created site ID? Thanks

How do you enumerate the current list of IP Addresses on the server? The IIS Management snap-in does this of course, but I cannot find what method I would use to complete this action. The purpose would be so I can enumerate the list of available IPs on the server so when I use the server binding, I can populate a listbox/combobox for ip selection rather than ip entry. I hope you can point me in the right direction. Thanks and great article!

SAM - all of my scripts require IIS6 Metabase Compatibility to run on IIS7. This is because they use ADSI, which requires the IIS6 Metabase Compatibility feature on IIS7. There is a new WMI and COM provider for IIS7 but code for that is IIS specific. Depending on the concepts I am illustrating, I would use different APIs. For examples, websites/vdir/ISAPI have always existed and use classic API. While Modules/Handlers originate from IIS7 and only use IIS7-specific APIs. You can use APPCMD.EXE in %windir%System32inetsrv to do many of the common (but not all) configuration-related tasks. You will have to read the help to determine the syntax. //David

Michael - you need to run this script on machines with IIS installed in order to query remote machines with IIS installed, using ADSI. You won't be able to query IIS6-specific properties with ADSI from XP Pro 32bit -- for example, AppPoolId. In this case, you are querying common properties that exist both in IIS on XP and W2K3, so it is fine. //David

Anonymous
June 24, 2008
I modified the script slightly for my purposes and thought i'd share. This asks for a website name and then uses David's script to locate the site identifier for that name. It then runs adsutil.vbs with that identifier to set the port 80 and port 443 site headers. i had to do this because the IIS Manager GUI doesn't have an option to set site headers for SSL !? Why, I have no idea... and then they go and provide us a cmd line script to do it, but that script requires the numeric site id, which is difficult to easily find out.. Hence thanks to David's code and a little bit of addition, I was able to script this nicely so any of our administrators could do it with ease.

Hi David, Thanks for sharing the information. I have a requirement to get the "Physical Path" of a web site. In general its value for Default Web Site will be "%SystemDrive%inetpubwwwroot". What property name of "IIsWebServer" should I use to get the "Physical Path" of a web site? GIRI

September 17, 2008
Giri - There is no such thing as "physical path" of a website. So, the property you are looking for does not exist. You can only retrieve the physical path of a certain URL, and you need to read the "Path" property of the "IIsWebVirtualDir" object to get that value. //David

Hi Guys, Have edited David's script to include listing of home directory for website content per site and also output to a txt file. http://satchelmouth.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/script-to-list-important-details-for-all-websites-in-iis6/ ( I couldn't seem to post the entire script contents here, maybe a character limit? )

Hi All, My IIS 6 server has become a little bit of a mess and I'd like to update the ServerComment (IIS site name) from the metabase to match the primary host header value. Has anyone done that before? thanks darian

Excellent work. 2 seconds to get a complete listing - and that 2 seconds included the copying of the text and renaming the vbs file:-)

David: I'm trying to access the 'objServer.DefaultDoc' value(s). I can retrieve the values but if I update the value (add/remove a document), the 'DefaultDoc' value remains unchanged. Any ideas on how to get the current values?

Hi David. Thanks for the great blog. This code returns a WMI 'Provider Load Failure' against an IIS7 server even with "IIS6 WMI Compatibility" installed. But it will work if I add "IIS6 Metabase Compatibility". So question #1 is 'Am I missing something?' And question #2 is 'How strongly should I bother resisting enabling IIS6 Metabase Compatibility -- is it that big of a deal?' Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{authenticationLevel=pktPrivacy}!\servernamerootMicrosoftIISv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM IIsApplicationPools_IIsApplicationPool", "WQL", &h10 + &h20) Result = "AppPools" & vbcrlf For Each objItem In colItems Result = Result & objItem.PartComponent & vbcrlf Next WScript.Echo Result Thanks so much!

Hi David, Thanks for sharing the information. I have a requirement to get the "Physical Path" of a web site. In general its value for Default Web Site will be "%SystemDrive%inetpubwwwroot". What property name of "IIsWebServer" should I use to get the "Physical Path" of a web site? GIRI

SAM - all of my scripts require IIS6 Metabase Compatibility to run on IIS7. This is because they use ADSI, which requires the IIS6 Metabase Compatibility feature on IIS7. There is a new WMI and COM provider for IIS7 but code for that is IIS specific. Depending on the concepts I am illustrating, I would use different APIs. For examples, websites/vdir/ISAPI have always existed and use classic API. While Modules/Handlers originate from IIS7 and only use IIS7-specific APIs.

How do i grab the header names from under "website properties > website tab > Advanced button > Host Headers? I can't find anything in how to grab that. We are consolidating our "similar sites" and the current incarnation of the script doesn't show the host headers on the sites we combined into one site.

Thanks for the script! Is there any way that I can receive the IP address of the IIS Server that is currently being used on my website? I have 2 IIs servers for the website and I'd like to know which was used when a user registers (a record is inserted to the db) on my website.

David, thank you so much. We used the basis of your script to deploy to over 1K+ web servers as ASP page - this allows us to target a specific page in any web site and it will obviously provide us with the info for all hosted applications - made life so much simpler for us... i.e. server name, web site names, State, IP's, etc etc...

Wow, talk about doing things the hard way. A few tips, David (if you haven't figured these out in the past four years): vbTab is a VB constant - you don't need TAB vbCrLf is a VB constant - you don't need CRLF If Not strBindings = "" Then ... is easier said: If strBindings <> "" Then That reBinding regular expression isn't needed.. try Split(objBindingList(i),":") ... results in an array as well but more efficient and less confusing Adding & "" to the end of the EnumBindings = EnumBindings.. statement is pointless Otherwise, nice job on a working prototype.

David, Please share the script which should display the home folder path along with full information about the Virtual Directories configured in the website as well. This script is also not displaying the Application pool configured for the website.
