Here's a video filmed recently at Barcelona's ITForum with Dan Farino and Allen Hurff from MySpace. They discuss their use of Powershell and of course IIS 7!

"The new integreated pipleine...is lean and mean. The ability to take out modules you never use. The ability to use the integrated pipeline without having to go through the ISAPI layer, it's really improving our peformance right out of the box. "

Check it out!

(using your best commercial voice)

Join Bill Staples, Product Unit Manager for IIS 7, and Jeffrey Snover, MMC and Windows PowerShell Architect, as they discuss the new features of Windows Server “Longhorn”, IIS 7 and Windows PowerShell.  See how much easier it is to manage an IIS 7 single box or an IIS 7 web farm with Windows PowerShell

Thomas Deml on the IIS team posted a very cool Log Parser Gadget http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2006/10/30/IIS7-Logparser-Gadget.aspx

You can use this to execute a Log Parser query and display results in vista. This allows for some very interesting possibilites! Log Parser is one heck of a utility that will read the local file system, registry, event viewer logs, IIS log files, and more using a SQL style query language that has far more capability that you would imagine. Output forms include XML, text, SQL databases, screen, graphs, end more. See http://www.logparser.com/ for details and http://www.logparser.com/Resources.htm for even more details.
