WSAT tool with IIS 7
-
Hello, I am in the process of developing a company intranet. The intranet would be driven by different departments, which is set up as folders in the website project, like Marketing, Finance etc. This is developed in VS 2010 using C#. The WSAT from VS works great, i can see the different folders and able to set up roles with access to certain folders. Now, I deployed this website onto Windows 2008 server running IIS 7. Having rough time with trying to set up the WSAT tool for this intranet. 1. I copied over WSAT project from my laptop, C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles over to the windows server running IIS 7.0. I copied over to \\\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles. 2. Set up an application pointing to this path. 3. Copied over my website to same server on D drive of windows server \inetpub\WebDev-Intranet. I set this up as a new website on IIS 7.0. This site is running fine. 4. How do I link the WSAT tool to this website on IIS 7.0? THANKS!!!!

I remember this question from last week. My short research, 5 minutes says the WSAT just modifies the web.config.xml file in your project, so all you need to do is copy that file to the folder your project is in on the server. You may need to modify some paths in the file. I recommend that you learn how to use the IIS7 admin tool instead of hacking the visual studio program, or simply install visual stdio on the server. There are You Tube videos that show how to use the IIS7 admin tool that you can watch and learn from. I don't know what all the negatives are for installing VS on the server, so perhaps someone else can comment on it. http://forums.iis.net/t/1169253.aspx/1[IIS Forum] http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rahulso/archive/2006/03/09/547402.aspx[^] http://bytes.com/topic/asp-net/answers/445855-web-site-administration-tool-without-ide[^]

THANK YOU!!!! Part of the problem was, we have all the web site projects located on the d drive of server. Now, I copied this project over to C drive, same where \ASP.NETWebAdminFiles resides and THIS worked!!!!! Thanks so much!
