Internet Information Services Administration

Kelli Adam, founder and president of ConnectOS Corporation, a Seattle-based ISP and key Microsoft partner, has used her considerable experience with IIS as the basis for this book: the first real-world guide to setting up, configuring, maintaining, securing, and troubleshooting IIS in a Windows NT/2000 environment. Written for experienced Web server administrators, as well as for first-time IIS administrators and Web hosting company operators, Internet Information Services Administration highlights the best practices for running IIS in small- and large-scale environments and explains when and why to use specific options. It deals with such practical concerns as installing and managing IIS, integrating IIS with Windows 2000 security options, customizing Web sites and the FTP service, running Web applications, connecting to databases, and managing log files. Its real-world recommendations make this book an invaluable resource to those upgrading or migrating to IIS 5. IF you administer a Windows-based Web server, this book will enable you to: Place your Web server on the Internet and make its Web sites available to clients Secure IIS with Windows 2000 options such as user and group, passwords, policies and access tokens, NTFS, and authentication features Run Web applications on IIS, including MIME-type configuration and ISAPI and ASP applications Utilize Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Certificate Services Learn how to implement Microsoft SQL Server and Access databases on IIS Use SMTP Service components, SendMail components, and NNTP Determine which log file format best suits your needs Monitor and improve the performance of IIS and specific Web sites Install and configure Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server extensions
