Administering an ISP Installation

Managing Your Installation

This section discusses features in IIS 5.0 that can help you manage your installation. Here you will learn how to enhance reliability, so that your sites will continue running even when your installation is being overloaded by simultaneous user connections. You’ll also be introduced to two tools, included on the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server Resource Kit companion CD. These tools enable you to stress test your applications before publishing them to an active server, in order to make sure they won’t overload your installation. IIS 5.0 comes with three features that allow you to automate administration tasks through the sample command-line scripts and to create your own customized administration scripts. After learning how to automate administration using these features, you’ll see how to leverage several additional features of IIS 5.0 and Windows 2000 Server in order to administer sites from a remote computer. The remainder of this section discusses ways to manage content, to create sites through FrontPage Server Extensions, to upload content to sites with FTP, and to manage sites with Microsoft® Site Server 3.0.
