How To: Rename Web Service Extensions in IIS 6.0 (327403)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 6.0
This article was previously published under Q327403 Important This article contains information about editing the metabase.
Before you edit the metabase, verify that you have a backup copy that you can
restore if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, see the
"Configuration Backup/Restore" Help topic in Microsoft Management Console
(MMC).
SUMMARYBy default, Internet Information Services 6.0 (IIS 6.0) is
configured to serve only static content. The Web Service Extension node in IIS
Manager provides the interface you can use to allow or not allow existing ISAPI
extensions such as Active Server Pages (ASP) or other extensions that the Web
administrator may add.
After a Web service extension has been added,
the name cannot be changed through the user interface. The only way to rename a
Web service extension is to edit the metabase (Metabase.xml). You can also
delete and re-create the Web service extension through IIS
Manager.REFERENCES For additional information about Web
