WebSvcExtRestrictionList
The WebSvcExtRestrictionList property contains a multi-string list of ISAPIs and CGIs used by applications on the Web server, including their location, descriptive information, and a flag for determining whether the Web service extension is enabled or disabled. The WebSvcExtRestrictionList property is used by the Web server to determine whether an ISAPI extension is permitted to run.
Each string element is written as:
AllowDenyFlag,ExtensionPath,UIDeletableFlag,GroupID,ApplicationName
AllowDenyFlag is "0" if the extension is not allowed or "1" if the extension is allowed.
ExtensionPath is the full path to the extension. If the last four characters of the physical path are ".dll" (case insensitive), then the extension is an ISAPI, otherwise it is a CGI. In the case of CGI script mappings, the physical path must contain the physical path from the mapping (i.e. "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe %s %s").
UIDeletableFlag is "1" if the UI is allowed to delete the extension from the list or "0" if the UI is not allowed to delete it.
GroupID is a non-localizable string used to identify groups of extensions.
ApplicationName is a localizable description of the extension.
Some examples of elements in this property are shown below. The first two entries, for *.dll and *.exe are special cases, referring to 'All Unlisted ISAPIs' and 'All Unlisted CGIs', respectively. The Web server core enables or disables all ISAPIs or all CGIs depending on the setting, if these entries are present:
"0,*.dll"
"0,*.exe"
"0,c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll,0,ASP,Active Server Pages"
"0,c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\httpodbc.dll,0,HTTPODBC,Internet Data Connector"
"0,c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\ssinc.dll,1,SSINC,Server Side Includes"
Configuring the WebSvcExtRestrictionList property with Admin Base Object (ABO) can be risky because the format of the property must be perfect. The property is represented as a buffer of strings that are delimited by \0 and composed of 5 fields separated by commas. A safer way to configure this property is by using the extension-related ADSI and WMI methods of the IIsWebService object, such as the AddExtensionFile and DeleteExtensionFileRecord methods.

Flags
There are no flags for this property.
Example Code
Metabase properties can be configured programmatically using three different technologies in various different languages (see Comparison of IIS Administration Features). For basic code examples, see the sections under Using IIS Programmatic Administration. More complicated, task-based code examples are provided in Using IIS.
The following code example configures the WebSvcExtRestrictionList property to enable ASP scripts to be executes. This example uses ADSI in VBScript.
Dim lWebSvcExtRestrictionList
Set IIsWebServiceObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC")
' Store original value:
lWebSvcExtRestrictionList = IIsWebServiceObj.Get("WebSvcExtRestrictionList")
WScript.Echo "Before: WebSvcExtRestrictionList="
For ValueIndex = 0 To UBound(IIsWebServiceObj.WebSvcExtRestrictionList)
WScript.Echo IIsWebServiceObj.Get("WebSvcExtRestrictionList")(ValueIndex)
Next
' Enable ASP:
IIsWebServiceObj.EnableWebServiceExtension "ASP"
IIsWebServiceObj.SetInfo
WScript.Echo "After: WebSvcExtRestrictionList="
IIsWebServiceObj.GetInfo
For ValueIndex = 0 To UBound(IIsWebServiceObj.WebSvcExtRestrictionList)
WScript.Echo IIsWebServiceObj.Get("WebSvcExtRestrictionList")(ValueIndex)
Next
' Restore to original value:
IIsWebServiceObj.Put "WebSvcExtRestrictionList", lWebSvcExtRestrictionList
IIsWebServiceObj.SetInfo
WScript.Echo "Restored: WebSvcExtRestrictionList="
For ValueIndex = 0 To UBound(IIsWebServiceObj.WebSvcExtRestrictionList)
WScript.Echo IIsWebServiceObj.Get("WebSvcExtRestrictionList")(ValueIndex)
Next
