The <moduleProviders> collection is the master list of all IIS Manager modules that are available on the server. Each module in the <moduleProviders> list must have a friendly name and an assembly-qualified type name. The <modules> collection is a list that specifies which of the server modules (that are registered in the <moduleProviders> collection) are available for site and application connections in IIS Manager.

|---|
A module that you add to the
<modules> collection must first be added to the <moduleProviders> collection.

If you want to configure modules for site connections in IIS Manager, you must configure the <modules> collection in the root Administration.config file. If you want to configure modules for application connections in IIS Manager, you must configure the <modules> collection in an Administration.config file in a parent site's directory.
Use the path attribute of the <location> element to specify the path to which a <modules> collection applies. For example, when the path attribute is "." (as shown in the default configuration excerpt below), the <modules> collection applies to all sites and applications. You can configure another <location> element and <modules> collection in Administration.config to specify settings for a specific site, such as the Default Web Site. For more information, see the example section in this topic.
Default Configuration
The following default <modules> element is configured in the root Administration.config file in IIS 7.0 when the all the role services are installed.
<!-- For all Sites -->
