Replicate Content and Configuration Main IIS configuration file  Built-in “Internet User” account  Simple file copy  Check for machine specific data IIS settings in Web.config  XCopy with application

Centralize Content and Configuration IIS configuration  Centralize on file server in Web.config files File System:  Use Client Side Caching (CSC)  Use Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) Web.config

Lesson 4: IIS 7.0 Configuration System Describe the new IIS 7.0 configuration system Describe the hierarchy of configuration files

New IIS 7.0 Configuration System Metabase Removed in IIS 7.0 Property names retained from metabase Central file: ApplicationHost.config  Strongly typed Schema  Uses ASP.NET semantics Distributed configuration  Defaults in ApplicationHost.config  Settings can be delegated
