using Hagen.Frank.blog; - Scripting ASP.NET Configurations

Monday, October 16, 2006

When I restarted this blog using DasBlog, I wanted a configuration that I could install on my USB key and run from anywhere with IIS. I was able to leverage DasBlog to do that with some custom scripting to automatically install the VirtDir. Everything was great. Then I moved to another company and got a new workstation. The script still works great, but since my machine defaults to ASP.NET 1.1, I have to manually modify the IIS Config after running the script to allow the 2.0 runtime I have DasBlog configured for. It's a minor annoyance and one I will solve by finding a solution to the script, or getting everyone defaulted to 2.0 (which is happening!). The script is below:

Set shell = Wscript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )

Set fso = WScript.CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )

vDirName = "DasBlog"

vDirPath = fso.GetFolder( ".\dasblogce" ).Path

'Using IIS Administration object , turn on script/execute permissions and define the virtual directory as an 'in-process application.

Set objIIS = GetObject( "IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root" )

Set vDirObj = objIIS.Create( "IISWebVirtualDir" , vDirName )

vDirObj.Path = vDirPath

vDirObj.AuthNTLM = True

vDirObj.AccessRead = True

vDirObj.AccessWrite = True

vDirObj.AccessScript = True

vDirObj.AccessExecute = True

vDirObj.AuthAnonymous = True

'vDirObj.AnonymousUserName = owner

vDirObj.AnonymousPasswordSync = True

vDirObj.EnableDefaultDoc = True

vDirObj.DefaultDoc = "default.aspx"

vDirObj.AppCreate2 1

vDirObj.SetInfo

''UpdateScriptMaps(vDirPath)

If Err.Number > 0 Then

WScript.echo Err.Description

WScript.Quit

Else

WScript.echo "Virtual directory created."

End If
