How to check who is taking most of the bandwidth? - iis

I have couple web applications on my windows server 2008 r2. Running on IIS 7.5.
I know they crawled not just by GOOGLE search engine.
Is there anyway to check what IPs makes most of the requests to the applications?

Go, right-click on the Website in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager tool, go to the Web Site tab, and check the Enable Logging box. You can customize what information you want to log..you can log client's IP address then you can see logging report.
hope this helps..

Troubles to configure my IIS server

I made up a web application for a customer, and I would need your help as my application has some huge troubles to run correctly on client machines with the Internet explorer 11 browser.
This is how my web application is shown by running it on the web server (it's the identification page) :
And this is how my web application is shown on a client machine :
The IIS server has only 1 web application installed, the application uses the defaultAppPool authentication to tun, a technician of my customer said the windows user defined for the identification has full rights on the folder of the web application.
Do you have any idea of what I have to do to solve my problem? I already added the url of the application into the trusted sites list and nothing changed. One last thing, the client machines are on 2 different domains.
PS: I used Webdev 22 to make my web application.
a technician at my customer finally found the solution.
Open Internet explorer 11, Tools --> Compatibility View settings, in the pop-up, uncheck Display intranet sites in Compatibility View

How to connect to Sharepoint 2010 with Sharepoint Designer when server has multiple SP sites with host headers?

Hi all and sorry for the long title. I've had the management of a SharePoint 2010 farm environment tossed to me and while most things are working one thing is not. None of our users are able to connect to any of the sites in this farm with SharePoint Designer. They all get the dreaded "server could not complete the request" message followed by the eternally helpful MS error message "Object moved. Object moved to here."
I've dug around everywhere I can think to look and the closest explanation I see is that it may have something to do with our SP server hosting 5 SP applications, all with their own host headers. The things I find seem to suggest that Designer won't play with SP servers featuring multiple host headers...but I have to think that can't be the case. SharePoint encourages you to make use of host headers when setting up your applications.
I've tried installing Designer directly onto the server itself: no dice.
I've tried setting up the sites without a host header: sites don't work (and it wouldn't be a permanent fix because the user base this farm serves are barely computer literate so asking them to use IP addresses will be like Armageddon)
I've checked the farm settings to ensure that use of Designer is allowed: it is.
For this intranet instance, we do apparently have 5 separate IP addresses tracking to this box that will eventually host 5 SP applications (if that helps).
I'm a developer and not a server or network admin so any guidance or advice from anyone who's run into this and found a fix would be most welcome.
First of all update Sharepoint Designer and Sharepoint to the latest service pack and do an iisreset and use Sharepoint Designer 2010 for access Sharepoint 2010 Farm.
Enable anonymous authentication for the SharePoint web application in IIS.
See this KB2758431 for more details, this is for Sharepoint 2013 but I think is still valid for 2010.
Set the registry DisableLoopBackCheck entry
Check the ULS Log and Event Viewer for error messages.
Here a little explanation about IIS name resolutions of Sharepoint.
You have to check the DNS, the IIS host header (foreach web site) and settings from the client.
If there are an entry into DNS corresponding to an hostheader of web application you must use this name for accessing the sharepoint web site, try with the FQDN (i.e. if the entry in DNS is Server01 and you are on mydomain.lan you must use for connecting: http://server01.mydomain.lan), check also from your client a ping to the address to see if you reach the server.
If there are no entry into the DNS, add to your hosts file the hostheader of the corresponding sharepoint site and try (same thing as for the DNS, see above).

Setting Domain Name on IIS6

I am setting up web applications on a development box (which I have remote access to) and I am looking to set the domain name, since we currently have to use an IP address to access the sites.
The server is Windows 2003, so I am using IIS 6. What are the steps to configure this?
I have searched Google, but I am possibly searching on the wrong terms as I can't find anything with steps to configure it.
You can set the hostheader on the property pages of the website (Web Site tab, Advanced Button).

What is the exact difference between Windows Azure and Windows IIS?

I have finished developing a webapplication on Visual Studio 2012 along with Microsoft SQL 2008. I'm trying to make it a "live" webapp which can be accessed through the phone rather than a localhost.
I researched and found 2 solutions which are
IIS
Azure
I have been looking all over the net for various clear explaination of the main difference between IIS and Azure. From my understanding, IIS is a web server application that comes with Windows Server and is used to serve up web sites while Azure is a Windows hosting solution that utilizes IIS. In that case why do people still uses IIS while Azure provide both a cloud platform and IIS?
Which is also better to host any typical web-application that used to run on the localhost?
I can't seems to find any thread in SO or ASP.Net forum which can clearly explain the main difference between the two along with the advantage and disadvantage.
Here are some of the link1, link2 i have found that provide brief information about the two.
What you are looking for is actually a place to run your web application, Teo.
As you've found, you can do that in IIS if you have a server that is connected to the Internet. A way to get such a server is to either got to a hosting company or just use the Windows Azure cloud as you've found as well.
One of the simplest ways for you to do this right now and for free is to sign up for a Windows Azure trial account. As part of that account you get a basic, shared Windows Azure Website for free.
Here are the links you need:
(1) http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/get-started/
(2) http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/
I would strongly recommend that you go through the entire tutorial (1) step-by-step before trying to do this with your own application. Before you start, sign up for a trial account (2). You will not be charged in the first month and you will not be charged if you stick with the free website.
Enjoy.
Comparing IIS to Azure is irrelevant. Those are two different concepts, which are vaguely related to each other. You lack some very basic understanding of what each one means, and I recommend you to go and read about each them from scratch.
IIS is indeed a web server application. That means, for example, that it can rout HTTP request and responds to and from the web site application that you have created.
To keep it simple, let's say that IIS can run on any Windows machine, which makes the machine a Web Server.
If you want to have your web site up and running, you need either have your own machine that acts as a web server, or either upload your web site application to some other machine.
Azure is a group of cloud services. One of the services is a Web Site Host, that allows you to use cloud computers to run the IIS that hosts your web site.
As part of the service, Azure will take care of installing and using the IIS server for you.
Bottom line, if you are going the Windows path, you will probably end up using Both Azure and IIS (unless you will want to self host your web site...)

Best options to host my asmx web service on machine not having IIS

We have a requirement where we need to have some web services running on a server machine but it does not have IIS available. I came across this article on running asmx without IIS and many other sites/blogs have mentioned this article as well.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163879.aspx
Could somebody offer alternatives to above to run asmx web services without IIS installed?
Other option i could find was Cassini - http://ultidev.com/products/cassini/
Windows Azure! That is precisely what it was designed for... it’s cheap and reliable!
