How do you list all the web sites (not applications) being hosted by an IIS server?

Question

I'm using IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003. The vision is to create a directory of those applications, showing their urls (ports on Server) and names.

Answer 1

I haven't done it, but I believe you need to use the following WMI object:

DirectoryEntry w3svc = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("IIS://{0}/w3svc", serverName));
foreach (DirectoryEntry site in w3svc.Children)
{
     //these are the web sites, lookup their properties to see how to extract url
}

Answer 2

C# example: link text

or

This is a VB example, but I think you will use this idea: link text

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject _
("winmgmts:{authenticationLevel=pktPrivacy}\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\microsoftiisv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from IIsWebVirtualDir")
For Each objItem in colItems
  Wscript.Echo "Application Isolated: " & objItem.AppIsolated
  Wscript.Echo "Application Package ID: " & objItem.AppPackageID
  Wscript.Echo "Application Package Name: " & objItem.AppPackageName
  Wscript.Echo "Application Root: " & objItem.AppRoot
  Wscript.Echo "Installation Date: " & objItem.InstallDate
  Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name
Next

In addition to above solutions, assuming if your application is not running on the same server machine where the IIS is, in that case you will need to write a TCPClient to perform Reverse DNS on the IP of the IIS server.

By defination Reverse DNS means:

In computer networking, reverse DNS lookup or reverse DNS resolution (rDNS) is the determination of a domain name that is associated with a given IP address using the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet.
