Microsoft IIS v7 Details Emerge

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the noting-the-future dept.

daria42 writes "According to several .NET and Longhorn bloggers, the next version of Microsoft's IIS web server will integrate ASP.NET and turn many core features into optional modules in order to provide a smaller security footprint for hackers to attack. In addition, the software's admin tool has been completely revamped, and will allow Web-based remote administration utilising SSL."

  3. Lame name alert by 0WaitState · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is it just me, or is the name "IIS web server" really lame? "Internet Information Server web server..." Yes, I know, Microsoft doesn't append "web server" to IIS, but if you have to tack on "web server" to remind people what the heck it is, then why not call it "Microsoft" web server instead of the nine-syllable babble-phrase? Sort of reminds me of PL/SQL, which when fully expanded is "Procedural Language/Structured Query Language".

    sorry but anyone who can't get it to work probably should go back to school and learn how to administrate a real server.

    [reply] might you mean "administer?"

    No, no, you see where he works they administrate their web servers as part of their effort to strategify maintenential servifaction. His suggestion that the parent educatify himself was within reasonification.

    Or even better:

    MCSE #1: "Our web site is down again."

    MCSE #2: "That's okay, I'll just open my browser and log into the remote administration and fix it right up... Huh... it won't let me in. I guess the web server is down."

    MCSE #1: "So now what do we do?"

    MCSE #2: "Log in to microsoft.com I guess. There should be a KB Article about this somewhere."
