Struggling with IIS 6.0

Last week I was investigating a problem on a webserver. During the travel, I found some interesting links on the internet related to IIS 6.0.

To get an overview of IIS 6.0 I suggest the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Technical Library on Technet.

Also the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit is very usefull, containing the LogParser which is handy when analysing IIS logfiles.

Here is an example of the usage of LogParser:

List all occurences of a specified URL in the iislogfile:

"C:\Program Files\IIS Resources\Log Parser\LogParser.exe" "select date,time,cs-uri-stem,c-ip from c:\ex*.log where cs-uri-stem='/yourdomain/myfile.aspx'"
