Enumerate all Websites on IIS

I am looking for (preferably C# but at this point i am not very picky since
hours of google and google group scouring has turned up nothing) for sample
code on enumerating all of the websites in IIS. I am leaning towards ADSI as
this has the possibility of working on more platforms however as I have seen
code that works on IIS 5.1 crashes on 2k3 but I am hoping for a more
"cross-platformable" code via the ADSI provider.

I currently have
DirectoryEntry W3SVC = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/w3svc");

- Now to my way of thinking everything under w3svc will be the websites. And
this would be exposed via the Children however the Children exposes only one
method of access a "Find" method which would be cool if our code was psychic
and already knew all of the website id's.

Meanwhile back in the real world! We are left looking for a method that
plain and simply enumerates the websites.

Is anybody able to shed some light on this matter

Hi,

The file "iisweb.vbs" will enumerate all of the sites when the /query option
is passed (Windows Server 2003)

I'm not sure what the odds of finding backward compatible scripts are, since
IIS 6.0 was a complete re-write

Something like this:
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/w3svc");
entry.RefreshCache();
foreach( DirectoryEntry de in entry.Children )
{
de.RefreshCache();
if ( de.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebServer" )
Console.WriteLine(de.Path);
}

Just to add, if you want the site name, use this:
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", de.Path, de.Properties["ServerComment"][0]);

Hello,

Here's some example code i wrote for you:

using System.DirectoryServices;
using System;

public class EnumWebsites
{
public static void EnumerateWebsites()
{
DirectoryEntry node = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/W3SVC");

foreach (DirectoryEntry e in node.Children)
{
if( e.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebServer")
{
Console.WriteLine("ID: " + e.Name + " Comment: " +
e.Properties["ServerComment"].Value.ToString());
}
}
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
EnumerateWebsites();
}
}

And a list of IIsWebServer metabase properties can be found in MSDN here:

Hi John,

Please check out the code provided by Alex. The following is a VBS
version:

Dim objWWW, WebSitePath, Item

WScript.Echo "Web Sites:"

Set objWWW = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC")
for each Item in ObjWWW
if (Item.Class = "IIsWebServer") then

Wscript.echo item.ServerComment
Wscript.echo Item.Class
Wscript.echo Item.Name

end if
next

Let us know if there is anything unclear. Thanks.

Best regards,

Thanks. The missing link was the IEnumerator that DirectoryEntry.Children
had. I did not realize that it had a Iterator/Enumerator that i could grab.

Can you take this one step further and show how to enumerate all the asp.net
apps that are installed? I starting trying to look for bin dirs but thats
maybe not reliable for ASP.NET 2.0. I was thinking looking for children of
class IISWebDir / IISWebVirtualDir.
