Can not add '.* " at mapping of IIS.

Question

Hello All,

I am unable to add .* at extension mapping in IIS (defaultwebsite -> properties -> home directory -> configuration) because it gives the message "Wrong file Extension".

The operating system is Windows 2003 server. I can add .* at mapping in IIS when the operating system is Windows XP

IIS6 has a second list for wildcard mappings. It's located just below the regular list of mappings and is called "wildcard application maps".
