Administration.config and Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll

My first post of the year, and it’s starts with a couple of Q&A’s.

Q: Where is the IIS administration.config file located?

A: It is under System32\inetsrv\config folder.

Note, this file can’t be edited using a text editor of any sort. It can be edited using code, the ServerManager class.

The ServerManager class requires the Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll

Q: Where is the Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll located?

A: It is under System32\inetsrv folder.
