The article uses a COM control written in VB that wraps the ADSI functions, which is completely unnecessary. I think that Rick resorted to that after finding that VFP's CREATEOBJECT() function does not accept a moniker style string, but he didn't try GETOBJECT(), which does.

Look at the documentation for wwWebServer and wwIISAdmin, which lets you do what you want. You'd have to pick your Web site first then call the various other functions with the ADSI path set to this Web site.

Easy as pie...
