I am looking to create a script to take away some of the redundency of going through each webserver that is created and choosing the same options over and over. Is there a way to script a lot of the setting in IIS?

An example of what I am looking to script is:
Home Directory tab – Set the following:
i. Read.
ii. Log visits.
iii. Deselect to index this resource unless you are using Index Server.
iv. Set Execute Permissions to Scripts only.

Thanks for any advice you may have!

I think there is, but how about backing up and restoring the metadata
instead?

ADSI exposes a scripting API for modifying IIS, as well as WMI and of
course, the base admin objects are accessible if you are feeling really
tough.....

Have a look here:

IIS has a scriptable Administration API, via ADSI and WMI, that is available
to scripts. It is able to configure 100% of IIS features. The UI
intentionally does not expose all IIS features.
