Hi Nofar,

Which IIS are you working with?

hi,

i use iis7

but in the IA 11 i don't see where i can choose the iis version
and in the iis window i have only the options to add new virtual directory or website

i'm on the design tab
should i do it in the MSIcode?

i just begun to work with IA so i'm a little bit confuse :)

Hi,

You basically have two options:
1) If what you are trying to do is achievable by setting and getting the IIS configuration properties, you can use the Get / Set IIS Property MSIcode command and ser the values you want.
2) If what you are trying to do is not achievable by setting IIS properties (doesn't sound like it is), you would have to call the IIS command line management tools from IA using the Run Program MSIcode command. Use that command to run the command line IIS tools and pass the appropriate parameters to achieve what you want.
