creating virtual directories programmatically 1

[pkailas]

Does anyone know how to create Virtual Directories in IIS5 using VBScript? I know how to do this manually, but need to do this programmatically.

Thanks,

I use a simple bat file like:

net use x: \\server1\share

then call this from vbs with wscript.shell.run

To create a virtual directory using the Iisvdir.vbs administration script
1.
From the Start menu, click Run.

2.
In the Open box, type cscript iisvdir.vbs /create "SampleWebSite" VirtualDirectoryName x:\path. [red]Substitute your Web site name, virtual directory name, and path to the physical directory as appropriate.[/red]

3.
Click OK.



I hope you find this post helpful.

This would probably work better if I were using IIS 6.0. However, we onlyl have IIS 5.0.

Any other ideas?

I don't have access to an IIS 5 system, do you not have that same script?

No.. I looked up that script on MSDN and it's only for IIS 6.0

Yeah, fortunately, I see that Microsoft offers a "Web Server" edition for Windows 2003 for less than $400. I may have to spring for a copy!

you may be interested in looking at adsi stuff

Set Parent = GetObject("IIS://" & ServerName & "/W3SVC/" & IntSiteIndex & "/ROOT")
Set NewVirtualDirectory = Parent.Create("IIsWebVirtualDir", "NameOfVirtualDirectory")
NewVirtualDirectory.SetInfo
NewVirtualDirectory.Path = "c:\websites\....\.."
NewVirtualDirectory.SetInfo
Set NewVirtualDirectory = Nothing
Set Parent = Nothing

mrmovie,

Can this be done via ASP and VBScript?

cant see why not, providing the context in which the ASP is being run has permissions..
