If you're a developer or administrator, you'll want to get thoroughly up to speed on Microsoft's new IIS 8 platform with this complete, in-depth reference. Prepare yourself to administer IIS 8 in not only commercial websites and corporate intranets, but also the mass web hosting market with this expert content. The book covers common administrative tasks associated with monitoring and managing an IIS environment--and then moves well beyond, into extensibility, scripted admin, and other complex topics.

The book highlights automated options outside the GUI, options that include the PowerShell provider and AppCmd tool. It explores extensibility options for developers, including ISAPI and HTTPModules. And, it delves into security protocols and high availability/load balancing at a level of detail that is not often found in IIS books.

This book is a complete reference to IIS 8---both for developers and administrators.  In addition to covering the common administrative tasks, this book will take an in depth look at IIS 8 extensibility and operations management.  This information will be pulled from people running major intranets and web hosting facilities.  The book will differentiate itself from other IIS 8 books by: Covering administration options beyond GUI tools, including the usage of the Powershell provider and AppCmd tool, and other automated options. This will cater for the growing usage of Server Core as a web hosting platform, as well as enterprise environments, where automated/scripted administration is a requirement The inclusion of sections where developers, or developer-oriented SysAdmins can extend IIS 8.0 using ISAPI or HTTPModules The inclusion of content around management processes, operations procedures and monitoring Delving deeply into topics such as security protocols (Kerberos, NTLM, PKI/SSL), high availability/load balancing which are generally deemed to be too complex for other IIS books.  As with the current edition, the book will also show admins and developers how to: Automate administrative tasks. Monitor and manage an IIS environment, including MOF (Microsoft Operations Framework) and MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager). Debug and troubleshoot IIS. Few people (outside Microsoft) have the necessary information on available tools and how to use them effectively. Secure the IIS environment Extend IIS 8.
