How to perform the management tasks in Internet Information Services (IIS) from the command prompt. There are several tools to help manage tasks. In this article, these tasks are divided into three independent task groups; however, all tasks are executed by group members of the Administrator group in the drive letter: / inetpub / adminsscripts folder.
Note: To open a command prompt to perform any tasks introduced in this article, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK.
Type CD INETPUB / ADMINSCRIPTS and press ENTER.
Display task
Two commands that can be used to display tasks are FindWeb and Disptree. Another command that can be used to display the relevant domains in a particular management node in the tree is DispNode.
Find virtual Web site
To find a virtual Web site, type the following command at the command prompt:
Findweb -c computer name www. domain name .com
Display management tree
To display the management tree, you can type one of the following two commands at the command prompt:
Disptree -a IIS: // Computer Name
or
Disptree -a IIS: // Local host / W3SVC -N
Create tasks
Two commands that can be used to create tasks are MKW3Site and MkWebDir; however, the Adsutil command line utility contains several designs to create an application within the process.
Create a virtual Web site
To create a virtual Web site, type the following command at the command prompt:
MKW3Site -R root directory drive letter: / folder name - T new server name -h host name www. My new web site .com
Create a virtual web directory
To create a virtual web directory, type the following command at the command prompt:
MkWebDir-C computer name -W "Web site name" -V directory name, drive device: / folder name
or
Mkwebdir -c Local Host-W "Web Site Name" -V Directory Name, Drive Man: / Folder Name

Stop the virtual site without interruption of the entire web service
If you want to stop the virtual site without interrupting the entire web service, type the following command from the command prompt:
AdsuTil Stop_Server W3SVC / Server
In this example, for W3SVC / Server, you can type W3SVC / 1 represents the default server, or type W3SVC / 2 represents the FOOBAR server.
Start the virtual site without interruption of the entire Web service
If you want to start the virtual site without interrupting the entire web service, type the following command from the command prompt:
AdsuTil Start_server W3SVC / Server
In this example, for W3SVC / Server, you can type W3SVC / 1 represents the default server, or type W3SVC / 2 represents the FOOBAR server.
Troubleshooting
Create a folder for that directory before creating a Virtual Web Directory; the process does not automatically create this folder. If you create a directory before creating a folder, an error message will be received. You can check all the processes that you execute under the command prompt at the Internet Information Console. If the console is turned on when the command line is changed, click Operation, and then click Refresh to view these changes in the console.
