The IIS 6.0 metabase is stored in an XML-formatted file called Metabase.xml. You can configure IIS to allow the metabase to be edited directly, but not all of the ASP.NET configuration settings are available in the IIS metabase. It is best to configure ASP.NET features by using the ASP.NET configuration system. For more information, see Editing ASP.NET Configuration Files. • What tools can I use to edit the IIS metabase? You can use the IIS Manager snap-in for the MMC. For information about common administrative tasks for ASP.NET developers, see ASP.NET and IIS Configuration.
