Last week Microsoft release the first Technical Review of the administration pack for IIS 7.0. Brand new features for IIS Manager will help you in a bunch of different scenarios.
Configuration Editor:
The configuration editor module will help you manage your configuration files. This tool is available for server administrators only. It allows you to edit any section, attribute, element or collection in your configuration file. In addition to editing these values you are also able to lock and unlock them. The configuration editor also allows you to generate scripts based on the actions you take as well as search the file to see where values are being used.
IIS Reports:
The IIS Reports module enables you to view key statistics about your website. You can also generate your own module reports to gather information relevant to you and your business. Currently you can view the output of these reports as charts and/or tables.
Database Manager:
The Database Manager module allows you to take an existing database connection and manage your SQL database from IIS Manager. You can also perform basic operations such as editing tables, adding keys, and running queries.
UI Extensions:
UI Extension modules allow you to manage existing features through IIS Manager.
The FastCGI module allows you to manage your FastCGI settings.
The two ASP.NET modules allow you to manage your authorization and custom errors settings.
Finally the HTTP Request Filtering allows you to setup rules for http request filtering.
