Listing Web Service Extension Files

  • Article

You can use the command-line script iisext.vbs, which is stored in systemroot\system32, to list the Web service extension files that are in the WebSvcExtRestrictionList property of the metabase. The command can be executed on any local or remote computer running Windows.NET with IIS6.0. Web service extension files can be either ISAPI extensions or CGI files.

Iisext.vbs performs the same operations that are available in IIS Manager. You can use either tool to administer IIS Web sites.

important Important You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to run scripts and executables, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the Runas command to run your script or executable as an administrator. From the command prompt, type runas /user:administrative_accountname "script or executable command".
