SPGlobalAdmin.ExtendVirtualServerInWebFarm method (Uri, String, Boolean, String, Boolean, String, String)
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
To extend a Web application to a new Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site, add a new entry to the IIS settings through the IisSettings property of the SPWebApplication class. SharePoint Foundation automatically handles duplication of IIS Web sites on other computers in the server farm. (In Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, the ExtendVirtualServerInWebFarm method extended a virtual server in a server farm with SharePoint Foundation, and is maintained for backward compatibility.)
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration

Parameters
uri
Type: System.UriAn absolute URI for the virtual server, which includes the host name, port number, and custom URL information. For example, if the URI is https://Server_Name:Port_Number/Sample_URL, when the virtual server is extended Sample_URL is included as part of the URL.
strVirtualServerName
Type: System.StringA string that specifies the name of a virtual server that contains a content database to use for the extended server.
bCreateNewAppPool
Type: System.Booleantrue to create an application pool; otherwise, false.
strAppPoolId
Type: System.StringA string that specifies an ID for the application pool.
bConfigurableAppPoolAccount
Type: System.Booleantrue to specify that the application pool account is configurable; otherwise, false.
- strAppPoolUserName
Type: System.StringA string that specifies a user name for the administrator account of the application pool. If true, specify one of the following values:
NetworkService
LocalService
LocalSystem
strAppPoolPassword
Type: System.StringA string that specifies a password for the administrator account of the application pool. The parameter is required only if the parameter is set to true.
Return value
Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPVirtualServer
An SPVirtualServer object that represents the extended virtual server.
Remarks
The ExtendVirtualServerInWebFarm method does not create a new content database, but connects the extended server to the content database of the specified virtual server.
Before extending a virtual server by using the ExtendVirtualServerInWebFarm method, you can customize the web.config file that will be placed on the server by creating an XML file that supplements the web.config file on the current server. For information, see Working with web.config Files in Windows SharePoint Services.
