I'm attempting to manage a set of remote IIS 6 server programmatically, but am running into a wall.
My client is Windows 7, and I have Domain Admin rights.
The relevant code is as follows:
public void Run()
{
DirectoryEntry W3SVC = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://server/w3svc");
foreach (DirectoryEntry site in W3SVC.Children)
{
Console.WriteLine(site.Name);
}
}
When I execute, I receive the following exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Unknown error (0x80005000)
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail)
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind()
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_IsContainer()
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.ChildEnumerator..ctor(DirectoryEntry container)
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.GetEnumerator()
at Worker.Worker.Run() in c:\code\Worker\Worker\Worker.cs:line 31
at Worker.Worker.Main(String[] args) in c:\code\Worker\Worker\Worker.cs:line 15
I see that this is happening at Bind
(which I assume is the connection attempt), but am unable to get any further info here.
Does anyone have advice? Thanks!
Ah! It turns out that I did not have the IIS 6 management tools installed on my machine. Once I installed them, this executed as expected.
