IIS Quick Quiz
I was catching up newsgroups posting as well as reading my RSS feeds, and I found this “Geez...can I get some training on IIS or what? “ A quiz from IIS team directly :) after reading through, I myself wasn't sure whether I can answer all, but I'm going to try. Here's what I have:
------------
1. What functionality does the metabase property "DisableSocketPooling" offer in IIS 6.0?
This property has no effect on IIS6 :) try -
IIS 6.0: Setting Metabase Property DisableSocketPooling Has No Effect
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=813368
Note: I bookmarked hundred of IIS KBs, so it's not from Mr. Google :)
2. What type of Windows security token is obtained for logon's in IIS 6.0 for anonymous and basic authentication?
I hope you mean logon type, if yes, it's NETWORK_CLEARTEXT.
3. What two policies must be added for process accounts if running CGI applications on IIS 6.0?
You need the following:
Adjust memory quotas for a process
Replace a process level token.
4. On Domain Controllers, how many IIS_WPG groups should exist and what accounts should be members of those groups on IIS 6.0?
On a DC ? Err, I don't have any IIS running on DC :) but I know only one IIS_WPG group exist, as for the member, let me guess, default is standalone, we have
IWAM,LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE, SYSTEM
After Dcpromo, it would be the same !
5. What members of the Windows Server Family are Network Load Balancing available in Windows Server 2003 for IIS 6.0?
Ohh, tricky ! the answer is all edition. Side question, which edition does Windows Storage Server 2003 belong to ?
6. How can one disable Kerberos on IIS?
How To Configure IIS to Support Both Kerberos and NTLM Authentication
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=215383
so running the following command will disabled Kerberos.
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/NTAuthenticationProviders “NTLM”
7. Is there a mechanism in Windows Server 2003 to ensure effective usage of the CPU for web applications? What is it?
Something call CPU Monitoring for application pools. (performance tab of app pool property)
8. What is the name of the compatibilty mode in IIS 6.0?
Easy ! IIS 5.0 isolation mode.
9. Name 3 command-line utilities available for editing IIS 6.0?
Let's see, the most famous one 'adsutil.vbs', 'iisapp.vbs', iiscnfg, iisback, iisext, etc
10. What memory settings should be added for Application Pools if you are running ASP.Net v1.0\v1.1?
Don't quite get you. you mean .config file or application pool property ? running in WP or IIS5 isolation mode, right ? still blur :)
------------
Now, let's see, I was guessing on No.4 and skip on No.10. Anyway, I already got the book - 'IIS 6.0 Resource Kit'. I want Halo2 !!! still waiting for my company store free money $$$.
