Robert Lucero IIS Testing Blog

Here’s a short list of really cool features to try out in the new WebMatrix:

Dave, a test lead at IIS, sent me a link to Puneet Gupta’s blog post about the Client Certificates UI that he developed.

Today, the IIS team is releasing version 1.0 of the IIS Database Manager.  It allows you to administer website and web application databases with the existing connection string or a custom client connection with an IIS UI extension.

Certificate renewals have changed from IIS 6 to IIS 7.  Specifically, IIS 7 generates a different type of certificate renewal.

Back on March 18th, during the MIX releases, the IIS team released the IIS 7.0 Administration Pack.  About a year ago we released Technical Preview 1 of Admin Pack; the modules have gone through a couple iterations since then.  

Adding to the MIX release madness, the IIS team has released DB Manager RC!  This RC version is a big step forward from the previous Technical Preview 2 release almost 9 months ago.

The IIS Configuration Reference is a great document to combine with the IIS Configuration Editor in the Administration Pack for IIS7.

I just ran across this Microsoft ISV Training Course that describes how to enable and use web application remote management.  IIS 7's remote management is a really cool way to allow non-administrator users privileges to administer their sites and applications without having to ask a machine administrator to delegated tasks for them.
