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:

SUMMARY
When you use the Windows NT Option Pack (NTOP) and Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0, Web sites are added to the server using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Each new Web site is given a number in the metabase, and this number is used by IIS when logging and FrontPage when installing extensions. It is sometimes desirable to know which number corresponds to a given Web site.



MORE INFORMATION
The following code was written using Windows Script Host (WSH) and lists all Web sites by their short metabase path and name.

To use this script, follow these steps:

  Copy the following code into Notepad, and then save it to your computer as a file called W3sites.vbs:

Dim objW3SVC, objSITE, strOUT Set objW3SVC = GetObject("IIS://LOCALHOST/W3SVC")

If (Err <> 0) Then strOUT = "Error " & Hex(Err.Number) & "("     strOUT = strOUT & Err.Description & ") occurred." Else For Each objSITE In objW3SVC If objSITE.class = "IIsWebServer" Then strOUT = strOUT & "LM/W3SVC/" & objSITE.Name & Chr(9) strOUT = strOUT & Chr(34) & objSITE.ServerComment strOUT = strOUT & Chr(34) & Chr(13) & Chr(10) End If     Next End If

WScript.Echo strOUT

  To run the code, open a command prompt, and then type the following command:

     CSCRIPT.EXE W3SITES.VBS
