Author IIS6.0: equivalent of SCRIPTS of IIS 5.0

Hi,

What's the equivalent of SCRIPTS folder of IIS 5.0 in IIS 6.0?
We are trying to move one of our IIS 5.0 based apps to IIS 6.0 on Win2K3
platform. Our App has an ISAPI component that sits in the SCRIPTS folder.
The application also has a client side (downloaded) component that keeps
sending request to the APP through this ISAPI component.
What is the recommended way to deal with this scenario on IIS6.0? Is it fine
to programmatically create a SCRIPTS folder and place the ISAPI component
there or are they better ways to deal with?

thanks

None, that folder was there and has been removed because of a lot of
security risks in the past.\
If you recreate it, be sure it does not exist under Winnt\System32\ (or
Windows\System32\)

You are right. You can program it, and be sure that the ISAPI filter runs
within the scripts folder having execute rights.
Using a tool from \inetpub\adminscripts is OK to add the new folder. You
also could use WMI scripts when you have IIS 6.
In addition, the NTFS folder containing the ISAPI filter, should have
minimal rights. Make sure IUSR_ and IIS_WPG have execute rights and SYSTEM +
admin full rights and nobody else should have rights.
