Chapter 2: Installing Windows SharePoint Services 45
Tip The default permissions, Read and Run Scripts (such as ASP), are
recommended. The Execute (such as ISAPI applications or CGI) permission
will be added automatically to the appropriate folders by Windows Share-
Point Services.

For more information about creating virtual servers, see the Adding Sites topic
in the Help system for Internet Information Services.
Now that the virtual server has been created, you can extend it with Windows
SharePoint Services. You can use either the command line or the HTML Administration
pages to extend the virtual server.
To extend the virtual server from the command line
1. Open a command prompt window, and navigate to the \Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\bin folder.
2. Run the following command to extend the virtual server:
stsadm -o extendvs -url http://servername
-ds [-du -dp
-dn -ownerlogin
-owneremail -ownername
-donotcreatesite -apcreatenew -apidname
-apidtype
-apidlogin -apidpwd
Be sure to use the -donotcreatesite parameter when you extend the virtual
server. Without this parameter, a site is automatically created when you extend the
virtual server, and the site will not be affiliated with a host name.
Notice that the -du and -dp parameters are not needed if you are using Windows
authentication to connect to SQL Server. It is recommended that you create a
new application pool to use for your virtual servers so that they run in separate processes
from the administrative virtual server. Use the same application pool for each
server farm virtual server on each front-end Web server. This application pool
should use a domain account, but it does not need to have database creation rights
in SQL Server. The administration virtual server account will create any databases
required.
