IIS Programmatic Administration SDK

Purpose

Internet Information Services (IIS) turns a computer into a Web server that can provide World Wide Web publishing services, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services, Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) services, and Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) services. You can use IIS to host and manage Web sites and other Internet content once you obtain an IP address, register your domain on a DNS server, and configure your network appropriately. IIS is a component of the Microsoft? Windows? operating system.

The programmatic administration section of the IIS Software Developer Kit (SDK) is a resource for developers who want to manage IIS servers programmatically by using one of the technologies listed in the table below.

Where Applicable

Please see this section in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 SDK for a list of available IIS products and their target operating system.

Developer Audience

The following table lists compatible programming languages for each administration technology that is available in IIS. Not all technologies are available on all versions of IIS (see Run-time Requirements below).

Technology

Programming language

Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI)

Automation-compliant languages like C, Visual C++?, Visual Basic?, Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), Microsoft JScript?, PerlScript

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)

Automation-compliant languages like C, C++, Visual Basic, VBScript, or JScript, PerlScript

System.DirectoryServices
