So everybody knows there are several flavors of active server page. There's one forum here for asp 3.0 and another for asp.net. Both run on the same server, though: Microsoft's Internet Information Service, or IIS.

I think most asp developers have some knowledge of iis. How well do you know it? How do you interact with it? Directly through the console, mostly? Has anybody had to work with the "metabase" of iis settings through code? Either with ADSI or, for iis 6, using xml and direct edit mode?

The company I'm working for uses a server farm, so it's nice to be able to audit and compare configuration settings across all the machiens.

IIS 5 on my dev server
IIS 6 on the production server

Terminal services to both machines and "hands-on" access to the dev server.

I'm the same as Chris but off by .1 - I use XP Pro for a lot of test work.

It varies, because I have different clients with different needs.

IIS 5.1 for my test server.

Either IIS 5.0, IIS 6.0, or in one case IIS 5.1 (intranet app) for the live servers.

Do I have to vote for one? Because I really can't.

I guess some dork should have made it multiple choice. Everything I write is geared toward 6 but I mainly test it using 5.1 - you'd be surprised how often that doesn't cause problems.
