This section describes each of the objects in the IIS ADSI provider scripting interface. Each page includes ADSI container information, the ADsPath for the object, the metabase properties accessible by the object, and any additional methods specific to the object.
Each IIS ADSI object has the KeyType property, which specifies exactly what type of IIS admin object it represents. If the key type is not available or is not valid, IIS assigns the generic type IIsObject. You can use KeyType to change the ADSI object to a valid object and gain access to other IIS-specific properties and methods.
The objects, properties, and methods of the Windows ADSI interfaces are already documented in the ADSI section of the Platform SDK. You can also view the reference on MSDN online at ADSI Reference. Windows ADSI methods that are most commonly used to administer IIS are listed at IIS ADSI Provider Architecture.
For a list of constants used with IIS Admin Objects, see Constants used by the IIS ADSI Provider.
