Hi jskim,

BigFix has built in relevance inspectors for the metabase to read the IIS settings, but if you want to change them, you will need to find a utility or a script that can modify the metabase. Are you familiar with the metabase (which is like the registry for IIS).

Here is some information regarding the metabase inspectors:

So your goal will be to:

  • Write relevance to detect when each of the configurations are not set to the right values.
  • Find a way to change the values from the command line.

Does anyone have a handy metabase editing utility?
