How to install IIS Lockdown

I have learned a lot about IIS Lockdown. I think everyone is eager to try it. Today, let's take a look at how to install IIS Lockdown. I hope you will learn more about IIS server security.

Is IIS Lockdown 2.1 available from a http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp? Releaseid = 33961 download. Download iislockd.exe and double-click it to run it. decompress it to a temporary directory and start the IIS Lockdown Wizard.

However, if you want to use IIS Lockdown to protect multiple servers, it is best to extract it to a dedicated directory as described below, so that you do not have to re-decompress IIS Lockdown every time you run it.

Note that the downloaded file is a self-decompressed execution file, which is the same as the application execution file in the compressed package. For this reason, if you extract iislockd.exe to its own directory, it will cause a file name conflict. Follow the steps below to avoid possible problems:
(I) download iislockd.exe to a temporary directory.

(2) Open the control window, access the directory, and execute the command “iislockd.exe/q/c/t: c: \ IISLockdown To uncompress./q requires "quiet" mode and/c requires IIS Lockdown to only Extract files, used with the-t option. The-t option specifies the directory to which the file is to be decompressed. For example, in this example, the file must be decompressed to the c: \ IISLockdown directory ).

The table lists the main files that iislockd.exeunzipped to. iislockd.exe contains the URLScan file, but this article does not discuss URLScan in detail.
