We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.



SUMMARY
New tools can be added to the toolbar for Internet Service Manager (ISM) for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), or the Internet Services Manager snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This allows you to add existing tools or custom add-ons for the ISM.



MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

IIS allows adding new tools to the menu by making string entries in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\INetMgr\Parameters\AddOnTools

All entries use the following format:

" " = " ;  ; [ ]"

If you chose to install the FrontPage Extensions, the following example shows you how to add the FrontPage Server Administrator to the ISM or IIS snap-in MMC toolbar.

 Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).  Locate the following key in the registry:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\INetMgr\Parameters\AddOnTools

  On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

     Value Name: FrontPage Server Administrator Data Type : REG_SZ Value    : ;FrontPage Server Administrator

NOTE: The file Fpsrvwin.exe is usually found in the following path:



where is where you installed the FrontPage tools, and  is the version number of FrontPage. </li> Quit Registry Editor.</li> Close and then reopen the ISM or MMC.</li></ol>
