IIS Admin Objects make programmatic administration as straightforward as possible. They are based on ADSI, and together they let you automate many administrative tasks. IIS 5.0 comes with several built-in administration scripts installed by default in the Inetpub\AdminScripts directory. But you can also create your own customized scripts to handle more complex tasks. ADSI can be easily accessed and manipulated by any language that supports automation, such as VBScript or Microsoft® JScript®, Visual Basic®, Java, or C++. For examples and information about creating your own custom scripts, see Administering an ISP Installation in this book.
IIS Admin Objects and ADSI work in conjunction with WSH, a language-independent scripting environment for 32-bit Windows platforms. Microsoft supplies both VBScript and JScript scripting engines with WSH. For other languages such as Perl, you can buy ActiveX scripting engines through third-party companies.
