configure.

Configuring Additional IIS Virtual Directory Settings
When you select a virtual directory in the Web Sites explorer in the Internet Information Services view,
the tabs that are displayed expose the most common settings for IIS virtual directories. You can
configure other IIS virtual directory settings that are not exposed on those tabs.
Task To configure a setting that is not exposed in the Internet Information Services view:
1. Create a VBScript deferred custom action.
2. In the View List under Define Setup Requirements and Actions, click Custom Actions.
3. Add the custom action to the After Setup Complete Success dialog item in the Custom
Actions during Installation explorer.
4. Use the ADSI object model to configure the settings.
Refer to the MSDN documentation on how to use the ADSI object model for configuring IIS virtual
directory settings.
