Hi !

IIS 6.0 web-server can be operated/administred through these Scripts in the Windows\System32 folder. These scripts, written in the Microsoft Visual Basic scripting language, use the IIS 6.0 Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider to get and set configuration information within the metabase. These scripts are designed to do many of the most common tasks facing a Web administrator from the command-line without having to use a user interface. IIS 6.0 includes the following command-line administration scripts:
