You must link the provider to a particular location, which is where the location

element comes into play in this file. When you open the location element, you??™ll find that it contains
a modules element that has a list of modules for that location. You simply refer to the name
of the element you created in the moduleProviders element. When you remove an element from
this list, the server no longer uses the module provider for that particular location, but it remains
configured for use later. The default IIS setup only includes one location, the Web server itself.
Managing Windows in a New Way
This chapter has demonstrated how to perform a number of the configuration tasks required to
make your basic IIS server fully functional. Normally, you??™ll begin working with the server through
the client. When you can??™t obtain the proper results by working through the client, fill in the gaps
using the AppCmd and W3WP utilities because they check your entries for errors. When all else
fails, modify the CONFIG files directly. You should use this as your last option because the potential
for error is high.
? Use a client system to manage the server
? Work with the AppCmd utility
? Work with the W3WP utility
? Modify the CONFIG files directly
Now that you have a better idea of how IIS 7 works from the command line, you??™ll want to begin
configuring your test server to perform advanced tasks.
