I'm attempting to use the IISWeb.vbs script on Server 2003 IIS6 to automate
creating web sites. I have my own .vbs file, and the simple command:

IIsWeb /query

Yields the following error:
Windows Script Host
Script: C:\Windows\system32\_IISWebCreate.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 8
Error: Syntax error
Code 800A03EA
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error

I'm running this as administrator in the System32 folder itself... Am I
missing something fundamental here, or is there some feature that I need to
cut on?

Post at least what line 1 in C:\Windows\system32\_IISWebCreate.vbs contains
(which I assume you cloned from IISWeb.vbs).

Also don't assume that everyone has a copy if IISWeb.vbs (I don't ;-)...

Re: Using IISWeb.vbs by Bruce

Sorry, IISWeb.vbs is delivered with Server 2003 and is in the
Windows\System32 folder. I found it from Technet at the URL below.

My code (_IISWebCreate.vbs) only has one statement (line 1) and it is as
follows:
iisweb /query

It is simply supposed to print a report of all the web sites in IIS. Perhaps
I shouldn't be trying to execute the thing in my own VBS file?... I was
under the assumption that the system knew to execute IISWeb.vbs, which it
seems to understand until it get's to the slash... Sorry for my
newbieness...

The Technet URL is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/iisref/htm/ListingWebSites.asp

The code in IISWeb.vbs is rather lengthy as delivered by Microsoft... I'm
just looking for an answer for the correct method to execute this delivered
script... Looking at the technet site, the script will also create, delete,
start, stop and pause web sites with parameters passed to it.

Thanks in advance for any help someone can provide...

Pretty simple then...

iisweb /query

is not a valid vbscript statement.

A 1 line BAT or CMD file will do the job if all you want to do is call
iisweb.vbs with a /query switch...

cscript.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\iisweb.vbs /query
