IIS 6 and mass creation problems

by dnickel . Updated 22 years, 10 months ago

I am doing some testing with II6 and Windows 2003 Server. The webserver will host over 7,000 virtual directories (Student Web Server and Home Directories). When creating the directories with the iisvdir.vbs and iisftpdr.vbs scripts everything works great at the begininng. But after 1,000 directories it takes the scripts longer and longer to complete. My guess is that the vbs scripts are doing some error checking, but this is ridiculous. At 5,000 virtual directories it will take the vbs
scripts 3 minutes each to create a directory.
We are currently using IIS5 and we were hoping that IIS6 was going to fix this problem. If anybody knows of a more efficient way of creating the virtual directories or any advice that would be useful it would be
much appreciated.
Thanks,
David
