6 Chapter 1 1 Admin Report Kit for Internet Information Server-(ARKIIS) 1.1 About ARKIIS About Admin Report Kit for Internet Information Server Admin Report Kit for IIS (ARKIIS) is a powerful reporting tool for Microsoft IIS Administrators. ARKIIS presents IIS configuration information from the IIS Metabase in the form of Trees, Tables and Views. All categories of information reported by ARKIIS are available across web servers and web sites. This means that information may be viewed and reported for several web servers in the enterprise simultaneously from a single server machine. ARKIIS assists in monitoring and tracking IIS configuration information in a certain way that is most suited for efficient administration and reporting requirements, especially web servers that have a large number of web sites, virtual directories and associated configuration settings. 1.2 Who can Use ARKIIS? Who can benefit from ARKIIS? Organizations running Microsoft Internet Information Servers can greatly benefit from ARKIIS. ARKIIS is a powerful reporting tool for Microsoft Internet Information Server Administrators. 1

The scheduled task created using Schedule Manager can be used to fetch the Internet Information Server settings for any number of servers across domains. The Schedule Manager can be used to manage (create/edit/delete tasks and add/delete reports) scheduled tasks created in ARKIIS. The Schedule Manager will create and store the settings as a task in the Windows Task Scheduler. Using Schedule Manager, you can schedule the following reports Web Sites Standard Reports Web Sites Built-in Reports Web Sites BulkExport Reports FTP Sites Standard Reports Application Pools Standard Reports Web Service Extensions Reports Export For Comparison Reports The scheduled task can be associated with only one type of report namely Web Sites Standard Reports or Web Sites Built-in Reports or Web Sites BulkExport Reports or FTP Sites Standard Reports or Application Pools Standard Reports or Web Service Extensions Reports or Export For Comparison Reports The scheduled task can be created with the task settings (schedule type, run as parameter) provided in the Task Properties dialog.

In HTML file format, the information will be stored in the html file. For each report, a HTML file will be generated. The HTML file will be stored in the specified destination path under a directory of the form <Prefix>_<TaskName>_MM_DD_YYYY_HH_MM_SS. In MDB file format, the information will be stored as tables in databases. For each report, a new database will be generated. The selected reports will be created as separate tables. The database will be stored in the specified destination path under a directory of the form <Prefix>_<TaskName>_MM_DD_YYYY_HH_MM_SS. In CSV file format, the information will be stored as comma separated values. For each report, a CSV file will be generated. The file will be stored in the specified destination path under a directory of the form <Prefix>_<TaskName>_MM_DD_YYYY_HH_MM_SS.

116 Chapter 9 9 Insight Reports 9.1 About Insight Reports The Insight tool in ARKIIS reports Summary and Detailed information based on "frequency of occurrence (Counts)" of their properties, for example, "Total number of Web sites that have been started". Some of the reported items in the Summary are based on certain parameters (Count, property value) that may be modified to get the desired report. The reports provide an "Insight" into IIS by producing some meaningful statistics on certain important properties in IIS. The Insight tool currently reports on the following: Web Sites Reports FTP Sites Reports Application Pools Reports Web Service Extensions Reports Web Sites Virtual Directory Reports FTP Sites Virtual Directory Reports 111
