IIS ADSI Object Hierarchy

The IIS ADSI objects are organized in a hierarchical structure that mirrors the structures defined in the IIS metabase configuration file. Objects contain other objects to create the object structure illustrated in the following diagram. Most objects inherit characteristics or properties from the parent object, but child objects can contain unique characteristics implemented by extending the schema. You can use this object hierarchy to access configuration settings for specific IIS elements. The structure shown in the diagram can vary slightly, depending on how IIS is installed.
