Create a Web Site During installation of Internet Information Services (IIS), a default home directory and Web site configuration are created on your hard disk. Similarly, creating a Web site by using IIS Manager does not create content, but merely creates a directory structure and configuration files from which to publish the content. To publish your Web content, you can place content in the default home directory, or you can create a different home directory or virtual directory and place content there. Important If you install ASP.NET with IIS 6.0, structure the content of your Web site so that requests for Web site content do not need to contain /bin in the request URL. As a security measure, ASP .NET returns a 404 error for all requests containing /bin in the requested URL. 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
