TechNet Webcast: What's New in Microsoft Internet Information Services 7

for IT Professionals?

Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Pacific Time

Be one of the first to take a look at all the changes coming in the new,

redesigned Internet Information Services (IIS) 7. This session focuses on

new troubleshooting features, a breakdown of architecture and security

improvements and the new IIS 7 configuration system. We also walk through

demos showcasing IIS delegation administration control to

non-administrators and new diagnostics tools. Also featured are the

entirely new User Interface (UI) and configuration system

TechNet Webcast: IIS 7 Diagnostics & Troubleshooting

Thursday, October 4, 2007, 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Time

Ever want to know what's really happening inside your Web server? Like what

requests are executing or what AppDomains are loaded in processes? Have you

wanted to trace a request but only when it's failing? Come to this session

to see how IIS7 is expanding its monitoring & diagnostics capability

through features like Runtime Status & Control data that allow you to see

not just which worker processes are serving which pools, but also what

requests are executing in them and their current state (including what

module they're in and how long they've been there!). We'll also be showing

you a new feature called Failed Request Tracing that will allow you to

configure IIS to trace requests for a specific URL and only flush those

trace logs to disk if the request meets a failure condition that YOU

define. Want to find out why your clients are hitting 401's? or why a

request for a static file is taking WAY too long? Use Failed Request

Tracing to view this data. Also covered is how you can instrument new

managed modules and capture that tracing in IIS trace logs (like Failed

Request Tracing), as well as how to route ASP.net Page Trace events into

IIS trace logs. Come to this session to see how IIS7 is enabling you to

finally get under the hood and see what's really happening.

TechNet Webcast: Securing and Tuning Internet Information Services 7

Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Pacific Time

Come learn how to take advantage of the new, modular architecture of IIS7

and Server Core to build a web server that is highly customized to only the

functionality that you need, without unnecessary components installed on

the machine. We'll walk through how IIS installs and works on Server Core.

You'll learn how to remotely administer an IIS installation on Server Core

using PowerShell scripts accessing the new remoteable managed

administration interface, or manage IIS locally using our new AppCmd

command-line interface. You'll be able to see different types of dynamic

applications (ASP and PHP) working on a Server Core installation of IIS.

Get a deep dive into this exciting new configuration for lower cost of

ownership and greater security.

TechNet Webcast: Deploying and Managing Web Farms

Thursday, October 11, 2007, 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Time

Learn how to deploy and manage Web Farms using new features in IIS 7, like

UNC support. When it comes to Web farms for shared hosting or enterprise,

synchronizing your configuration across several nodes is the most important

feature that you need. Come learn more about the new Internet Information

Services 7 configuration system that replaces the metabase, and how it

optimizes Web farm scenarios. Do you want to point your Web server

configuration at a central location? Do you want to quickly add new nodes

without painful replication and manual tasks? Shared configuration helps

you accomplish fault tolerance, load balancing and fail-over. In this

session, we outline the fundamental new changes and how to turn these

features into a great solution.

Services (IIS) 7.0. This session takes and in-depth look at the new FTP

service for IIS 7, with demonstrations that showcase new features such as

FTP over SSL, enhanced security features, and improved supportability

options. We will also discuss Microsoft's plans for a version of the

FrontPage Server Extensions for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, as

well as a new WebDAV implementation for IIS 7.

TechNet Webcast: Securely Delegating Remote Web Site Administration with

Internet Information Services 7

Thursday, October 18, 2007, 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Time

Remote administration and feature delegation-the coolest new features in

Internet Information Services (IIS) 7. How do you enable low privilege

users to connect to only their Web site or application without the

nightmare of metabase ACLs? How do you allow users to change some feature

settings but not others? How do you extend the UI so that new tasks can be

accomplished easily? These are the types of solutions we show you. First,

we review remote administration and how to use custom modules for enabling

user scenarios. Then, we chat about how to give non-admins access to just

their Web site and only specific settings like Default Documents
