Something a lot of developers crave for, is to be able to run multiple websites in IIS on a WinXP Pro machine. I always thought this to be impossible... But there is (sort of) a solution. You can achieve to have multiple websites on WinXP Pro, with one drawback: only one website can run at a time. How?
Open a command window and type:
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil.vbs create_vserv W3SVC/
2C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts> adsutil.vbs
copy W3SVC/
1 W3SVC/
2
The first command creates a new virtual server in the IIS metabase. The second command copies all the necessary meta data from your default Web site to the new Web site to make it work properly.
