Infrastructure Configuration (Exam # 70-643)
Objectives
• Create and configure Web applications utilizing
application pools on IIS 7
• Manage IIS Web sites including publishing,
configuring virtual directories, and migrating sites
and Web applications
• Create and configure FTP 6 sites
• Create and configure FTP 7 sites
• Create and configure SMTP virtual servers
2

Infrastructure Configuration (Exam # 70-643)
Configuring Web Applications
• Internet Information Services (IIS)
– Server role available in all versions of Server 2008
– Modular architecture
• Install only desired components
• Web application
– Not the same thing as a Web site
– Application runs within the context of a site
– Site can have different areas with no user interaction
with a Web application
– Single site can have multiple Web applications
3
MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Applications
Infrastructure Configuration (Exam # 70-643)
Directory-Dependent Applications
• Accessed by directly referring to the directory
where it resides
• Example: http://www.yourcompany.com/login
– Application residing in the login directory presents
user with a form to enter their login information
– The login directory might be the only area within the
Web site that runs the login application
4
MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Applications
Infrastructure Configuration (Exam # 70-643)
URL-Specified Applications
• URL-specified configuration
– Determines appropriate application to execute by
looking at parameters passed in the URL
• Example: http://www.yourcompany.com?uid=0
– Application looks at the uid (User ID)
• Sees that it is zero and directs user to login page
• If uid was not zero, user may have been redirected to
home or welcome page

.ASP (Classic ASP) vs. .ASPX
(ASP.NET)
• Active Server Pages
– One of the most common types of Web applications
– Two types: Classic ASP and ASP.NET
• Classic ASP files
– Have an extension of .ASP
• ASP.NET files
– Have an extension of .ASPX
– Have additional functionality

Summary
• Web applications can be accessed based on the
directories they are placed in or through the URL
• Application Pools separate the worker processes of
Web applications so they do not affect each other
• Virtual directories allow a Web site or Web
application to access content outside the default
file structure
• FTP provides a simple method for copying content
to Web sites without direct access to the server
77
MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Applications

Summary (cont’d.)
• FTP6 requires all authenticated users (except
Anonymous) to be either Windows or domain users
on the server
• FTP 7 can use the IIS Manager list to authenticate
a user
• SMTP virtual servers allow Web applications to
send e-mail
– Various settings are available in the Messages and
Delivery tabs
• ASP.NET applications can access e-mail settings
