Command Line Administration Command Line Administration enables administrators to manage the Web server using the command line. In addition, IIS 4.0 ships with 20 sample scripts that provide administrators with the ability to automate tasks like setting up a virtual directory by simply creating a script. With this feature, administrators can back up and restore Web server configuration settings. If changes to the configuration of the Web server yield undesired results, the administrator is able to roll back the settings to a previously saved state. Using this innovative new feature, administrators can securely assign individual operators to manage separate Web sites running on the same Windows NT Server computer.
