Modify the IIS Metabase Directly If you need to modify the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase, you can do so directly in the Metabase.xml file by using a text editor. Before you can modify the Metabase .xml file, you must enable the edit-while-running feature of the metabase by using IIS Manager. Once you have made your changes and saved the Metabase.xml file, disable the edit-while-running feature of the metabase. To implement changes to some metabase properties, you might need to restart the server. Requirements
Recommendation As a security best practice, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the Run as command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At the command prompt, type runas /user:administrative_accountname mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc. Procedures
Most changes to metabase properties are automatically recognized by IIS; in some cases, you must restart IIS for the metabase property changes to go into effect.
