IIS server configured through text files

After learning about the IIS server, we know that a major feature of the IIS server is that the management tool uses the new distributed web. config Configuration System. The IIS server no longer has a single metabase configuration storage, but will use ASP.

NET supports the same web. the config File model allows you to store and deploy configurations and web application content together. No matter how many sites there are, you can use the web. the config file is configured directly, so that when the company needs to mount a large number of websites, it may only take a short time.

Because the Administrator only needs to copy the web of any previous website. config file, and then transfer the settings with the web application to the remote server. There is no need to write the management script to customize the configuration.

At the same time, the management tool supports "delegated administration". You can set some deterministic web. the config file is delegated to other employees in the enterprise. In this case, the management tool only displays the settings of the customer's own website, rather than the settings of the entire machine.

In this way, the IIS server administrator does not have to worry about every small change to the site. Version Control is also simple. Users only need to keep text files of different versions in the Organization, then, restore them as necessary.

Microsoft products have always taken pride in user interface friendliness. However, the IIS server designed for IT personnel does not seem obvious. In retrospect, from IIS server 4 to IIS Server 6, the console provided to users is not very convenient to operate, and due to technical restrictions, it is difficult for users to achieve all management work through a unified interface.
