What IIS serves

For the past few years, I've spent a great deal of time in the details of IIS. I learned how to build management extensions, to perform administrative tasks from Powershell and how IIS security has improved over the years.That said, a few weeks ago I...

IIS Security – Past and Present

This topic has been covered many times both by Microsoft and non-Microsoft employees. However, I’ve recently been asked what the main features of IIS 7 are and have seen a great deal of misinformation about IIS security on twitter, blog posts and forums...

I might be Speaking at CodeStock – or watching Shawn Wildermuth

OK, so I had intended to announce that I posted a session submission to CodeStock and that voting was open. However, I procrastinated and Shawn Wildermuth beat me to the punch. So in an act of utter creepiness, I am modeling my post after his and invoking...

Installing CakePHP on IIS 7

Recently I spoke with someone on Twitter who was having issues running CakePHP on IIS. With all the talk about ASP.NET MVC on IIS, folks forget that the MVC pattern works in other languages as well. CakePHP provides MVC development on PHP. That said,...

IIS logging UI module sample added to CodePlex

For those of you that remember that far back, I released a sample that also filled a need for Windows Vista. Since the original version of Windows Vista did not ship with a user interface for managing logging, and we needed samples of how to build UI...

Enabling VS.NET 2008 to work with IIS 7.0

This is likely old ground for some, but I thought I’d cover it again just in case. As you may know Visual Studio allows you to create a new web site on IIS. However, there are some minor steps that you need to complete before it will work appropriately...

IIS cannot start after upgrade to Vista SP1

Some time ago, I tried to start up the IIS Management Console on my Vista machine and I received an exception. After trying a few quick fixes, I gave up. I had several VPC images that I worked from and I didn't particularly need this machine to work when...

IIS 7.0 Error Support

I know that most of you reading the blogs on this site have already seen how handy the errors are in IIS 7.0 as compared to previous error conditions. This weekend, I was playing with BlogEngine.NET and thought I'd put it on my personal site ( tobint...

Accessing Custom Configuration at Runtime with Microsoft.Web.Administration

I've been working on a series of posts and Webcasts in my "spare time" directed at some of the areas in which I am most frequently asked questions. I am currently working on developing topics dealing with IIS configuration. It seems logical that this...

Webcast: Extending IIS Configuration

I'm happy to report that my first webcast has been published to IIS.NET. For those of you that prefer to learn by watching a feature being used over reading an article, I will be trying to do one or two of these a month. You may download the WMV file...

Back in business... but I need your input!

It has been quite a while since my last post to my blog. For the past several months, I had been working on an internal project with Microsoft that has kept me very busy. That said, the past month has also proved to be very interesting for me. I decided...

Mix Updates - My Status

For those of you that care to follow this stuff, check out my Mix07 updates on Twitter , my pictures on Flickr , and my errr... other stuff on Facebook .

Silverlight and Expression and Bears, oh my!

I just watched some of the coolest demos I've seen in a while. Ray Ozzie gave the opening keynote address for Mix 07. I hate to say it but he stated nothing more than the obvious direction of technology, IMHO. Ray's address was quickly followed by Scott...

Heading to Mix

In just a few short hours, I'll be heading to Las Vegas to attend Mix 07 . I'm not sure what to expect but I'm very excited to see our customers in person. I'm probably one of the few who doesn't really enjoy Vegas. However, this time will be different...

Partying with Palermo

As many know, the Microsoft MVP Global Summit is happening this week. As if the affair wasn't a big enough deal, Jeffrey Palermo threw a big party at Jillians in Seattle. I went last night just to talk to some of this industry's most well known bloggers...
