Multiple websites in IIS on Windows XP Pro
Posted on August 17th, 2010 Add commentsUnlike Windows Server Edition, XP pro does not support multiple websites in IIS. However, we still can use several ways around this.
First option, just use IIS Admin, a simple program developed by a third-party developer for this purpose. (Download From Here)
The second option is to use adsutil.vbs, located in the folder “C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts”:12345C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil.vbs ENUM /P W3SVC#(Find out what the highest numbered site you currently have is)C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil.vbs create_vserv W3SVC/x#(Create a new website, Add one to the highest numbered site)Where x is replaced by the new numbered site. For example if you run the first command and the highest numbered site is 4, then replace x to 5.
12C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil.vbs copy W3SVC/1 W3SVC/x#(Copy website 1 to website x)The third option is to use Metabase Explorer from the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools.Copy the default website (/LM/W3SVC/1/) and then paste it. This will also give you another website, ready to use. (Download From Here)
Also we can delete the website using adsutil.vbs, Metabase Explorer or ADSI/WMI. To delete a website using adsutil.vbs, write this in a command prompt:1C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil.vbs delete W3SVC/x
