What's not supported in IIS 7
Gong Xi Fa Cai :) to those celebrating Chinese New Year. As usual, been busy, will be traveling again next week. Just read this from iis.net. While IIS 7 offers is completely redesign and offers many cool features, please be aware that the following features NO longer support/exist in IIS7:
a) IIS 6 URL Authorization - Never configure before :p, do you use this?
b) FPSE Support - Bad news for those that use this for web publising, I don't really like it. I'm happy with Ftp.
c) WebDav - Ouch...not on Vista, but you should see add-on support for Longhorn
d) NNTP - Errr... traditionaly not with client OS, but I do use it for IIS 6 for internal newsgroups, etc. Longhorn will not support this as well :(
e) Digest Auth - This will now required W2k3 or Longhorn domain controller, W2k not supported
f) Sub-authentication - They have finally clear this out, no more sub-auth support for IIS 7.
g) Content Rating - Hehehe... again. so far I only see one posting out of many years for this feature.
i) Passport Auth - Another feature that I don't think many uses, do you ?
j) IIS Users recreation - This focus on iwam/iusr _computername account. This changed in IIS7, you will see iusr built-in account instead.
k) VBS scripts - all iis*.vbs is gone, and adsutil.vbs is there but very limited since IIS7 no longer store config in metabase.
l) Pause Website - Mm.. I don't get this. The article claimed there's another way to do this. So it is still pausing the website, right?
