Edits to Virtual Directories are Not Reflected in the Metabase

• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

Any change to an existing virtual root in the registry will not be reflected in the metabase while Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 is running, even if the server is stopped and restarted. However, any new virtual root information is added once the server is stopped and restarted.

MORE INFORMATION

When the Web server starts, it migrates all "new" virtual roots to the metabase ("new" means not already in the metabase). The server then turns around and deletes all registry virtual roots and mirrors the virtual roots from the metabase to the registry. Any change to the metabase virtual roots re-mirrors the virtual roots to the registry, deleting anything that was changed in the registry.
