IIS Configuration Restore
If you’ve ever made a change in IIS and then your websites stop loading, you quickly start looking for a way to restore your last config. Luckily IIS7 introduced a feature called Configuration History that automatically backs up your config when it detects a change. Here’s how to make use of those backups and perform an IIS Configuration Restore, as well as how to manually backup your…

List web sites with PowerShell
I had this code already:
PS> Import-Module WebAdministration PS> Get-ChildItem -Path IIS:\Sites
But that wasn’t working for me, the columns wrapped in a way that was a pain to reformat and I wanted more information.
So I decided to get all of the columns
PS> Get-ChildItem -Path IIS:\Sites | Format-Table -Property * -AutoSize | Out-String -Width 1300 | Out-File sites20160308-wide.txt
But a lot of those fields were either redundant or didn’t tell me much, plus NotePad.exe wraps text at the thousandth column whether there’s a line break or not. So I pulled out all of the columns, then eliminated the ones that weren’t likely to be useful to me.
PS> Get-ChildItem -Path IIS:\Sites | select name, id, serverAutoStart, state, applicationPool, enabledProtocols, physicalPath, Attributes, ChildElements, Methods, logFile, traceFailedRequestsLogging | Format-Table -Property * -AutoSize | Out-String -Width 900 | Out-File sites20160308-subset.txt
That was what I needed.
The next project in this series will be to in-line decode the fields logFile and traceFailedRequestsLogging so I can store that output and have a good snapshot of how IIS is configured. (Both of those fields output as “Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElement” which I expect I can turn in to something useful when I have more time.)
List IIS sites with PowerShell (names, IDs, path, bindings)
You will need the WebAdministration module
Start PS with the “Import System Modules” option -or- Use “Import-Module WebAdministration”
PS> Get-ChildItem -Path IIS:\Sites
Resulting columns: Name (16 char), ID, State (started or stopped), Physical Path (30 char; FQDN), Bindings (60 char; format = ftp | http | https + IP:Port +:+ URL)
After you install IIS 7.0, you can backup your configuration by using the built-in command-line tool, AppCmd.exe. You can run AppCmd.exe to create a backup of your Web server before you have change...
Using IIS URL Rewrite to block Googlebot requests for non-existent mobile sub-directories
I noticed many failed requests in my IIS log files for non-existent “/m/” and “/mobile/” sub-directories. These requests came only from Googlebot and I verified this by performing a reverse DNS lookup. I’m guessing that some popular framework out there generates separate mobile-friendly pages by doing this and Google is testing to see if the URL pattern works on every website.
Since many of our websites use URL rewriting, we were seeing application errors as a result of this path being added to the requests. Here’s a simple IIS7 URL Rewrite Rule that will block and return a 404NotFound message instead.
https://gist.github.com/JamoCA/f5682427ff196d060a73
Another rule option would be to rewrite the URL to remove the sub-directory from the path an issue a 301Redirect, but I thought it may be best to use 404 instead since there aren't any internal or 3rd party links to these non-existent mobile URLs.
Force IIS7 to suggest downloading *.exe files in “Local intranet” zone
Force IIS7 to suggest downloading *.exe files in “Local intranet” zone
Problem:
html file on local server (inside our organization) with link to an exe on the same server.
clicking the link runs the exe on the client. Instead I want it to offer downloading it.
Tried so far:
Changed permissions on the exe’s virtual directory to be read and script.
Added Content-disposition header on the exe’s directory.
I can’t change settings in the browser. It’s intended for a…

Fix: What are the benefits of a self signed certificate on a live site? #solution #computers #fix
What are the benefits of a self signed certificate on a live site?
Are there any benefits of a self signed certificate on a live site?
I know in IIS 7 you have the ability to self sign a certificate and I was wondering if using that as a precurser to buying one from a CA would be a good idea.
Do you get the same encryption benefits that you get from a CA signed cert or am I confusing terms?…
