I am trying to understand the overview of the IIS structure. It is as follows on my home computer: Internet information Services -Dell Local Computer --Web Sites ---Default Web Sites ----Web site 1 ----web site 2 ---- web site 3 Could someone provide a few details of the reasoning/logic for the structure?
Not sure what you are asking but I will try with some assumptions. That view is just your PC(the Dell) which is where the IIS installation lives. IIS is (has been) configured to contain the websites that are listed. The sites word is just an organizational scaffold to allow hiding for viewing the Web sites that are installed / configured in IIS. This is not at all the same as, and has no relationship to, the MS Explorer file navigation tool, even though if you click on one of the websites it will show the files and folders in that specific web site. You would have to get some reading going and play around in it to get all that can be gotten (wow!). But.. that is a quick answer to your question.
