IIS Multiple Identities

I am looking for a method to *programatically* add/remove Identities from an
IIS 5 (Win2k) server.

Manually, this is done via the Props window of the web site in question (via
the Advanced button in the Web Site Identification area of the Web Site
tab).  Specifiy the IP Address, Port and Host Header and you're good to go.
I need to do this via script, shell or some other programable way.

Any ideas?

TIA
Steve

Hi,

Try doing a search on "Using ADSI to Configure IIS", this is only one of
many ways of doing it, but probably the one you're after.

Beginner code might look a bit like this [shoddy example from the
Microsoft docs]:

' Create an instance of the virtual directory object
' that represents the default Web site.
Set IIsWebVDirRootObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root")

' Use the Windows ADSI container object "Create" method to create
' a new virtual directory.
Set IIsWebVDirObj = IIsWebVDirRootObj.Create("IIsWebVirtualDir", "NewVDir")

' Use the Windows ADSI object "Put" method to
' set some required properties.
IIsWebVDirObj.Put "Path", "C:\NewContent"
IIsWebVDirObj.Put "AccessRead", True
IIsWebVDirObj.Put "AccessScript", True

' Use the AppCreate2 method of the IIS ADSI provider to
' create an application on the new virtual directory.
IIsWebVDirObj.AppCreate2 1
IIsWebVDirObj.Put "AppFriendlyName", "NewApp"

' Use the Windows ADSI object "SetInfo" method to
' save the data to the metabase.
IIsWebVDirObj.SetInfo

Thanks, but I'm not trying to create a virtual directory.  An "identity"
really has nothing to do with virtual directories.

Anyone else?

Take a look at the mkw3site.vbs script that installs if you install
the scripts for IIS.  I'm pretty sure you can set multiple IP, port
and header names just by separating them by commas.  Something like:

makewebsite -i 192.168.1.10,192.168.1.20 -o 80,8080 -h
www.sample.com,sample.com

I know. I gave that code as an example. Did you do the search I
suggested and read the ADSI docs? There are objects for dozens of IIS
tasks. I don't know what an "identity" is in IIS, but are you saying you
can't manipulate it with ADSI?

Thanks, that looks to be pretty close, if not it.  I'll have to play with it
a little.  I'm not sure if I can just add an Identity with it, but I may be
able to tweak it if not.

Thanks!

The mk3site.vbs uses the exact same technology I indicated above. If the
ready made scripts do what you need it's great, but personally I found
them a bit limited.
