Here’s a couple quick tips for things I recently figured out in IIS 6. Sidenote – I just saw whatever IIS version Vista has, and it’s TOTALLY different. Not sure what’s in Microsoft’s latest server OS, but if it’s along the same lines I hope all the differences add up to improvements and are relatively easy to figure out. Wouldn’t hold my breath about that. Anyway, here are my version 6 nuggets:

1. By default, the referrer log data type is not selected. So your logs won’t include that unless you specifically enable it. Seems like you would almost always want to know that.
2. In order to get those kinds of settings applied by default to newly created sites, set them on the properties of the folder in which your sites are created in IIS.
