I'm wondering .. what do You mean by telling support for URL rewrite module? MS IIS7 Url Rewrite module (avaialble at http://www.iis.net) just works after installation so basically there could be only rules management/parsing .htaccess files in website properties (equivalent of IIS7 Management console URL Rewrite add on).

I mean provide a GUI for adding/managing rules likes the manager does in the IIS 7 console

 BINGO! we have a winner. Yea thats what I was looking for too, also so you can convert apache formated stuff via the interface too.

There are few but they're all important. Such as the following:

1. Importing an existing web site un-sync the Windows Password and the configured password in the IIS7.

2. Yeah, we just lost the Perl, Python, and etc which I made it global for the mean time too.

3. The ability to have the same level with Windows 2003 by having most of the IIS7 Features Delegated as Read-Only so the customer can't add modules or configure anything using the web.config which they will have to reply with the DNP control panel.

4. IIS Password was lost but it's not really important for me. I don't know for others.

Lastly, this not just an IIS7 request but for DNP itself overall.

5. Able to set default for all the configuration as part of the hosting plan setup.

Let me give an example for this. Today, when we create a hosting plan, we set whether the user Can have dedicated application pool or not. if you disable this, then the customer won't be able to select it as a feature in his control panel. If you enable it, the customer may activate it's own dedicated application pool. Now what's mssing here? It's the 3rd option that allows us hosters to force a certain feature which we can set it to force enable dedicated application and the customer won't be able to change it or customer won't see that option at all, but it's been activated for his hosting plan.

The above goes also for the Write Permission, for the emails, mssql, mysql, and etc.

Doesn't switching to IIS 6.0 Compatibility mode resume all the needed features?

Yes, I know that turning on IIS 6 compatibility deisables most of the improvements of new IIS 7, but it might be temporary workaround, right? And you may disable IIS 6 compatibility later, and get back all IIS 7 improvements, right?

...or not?

Nope, it doesn't coz DNP tags it as IIS7 and it uses IIS7 way of configuring it.

DNP Team,

What can you say about this thread? Are any this will be on the next version?

I would add 1 more problem. It's about the dedicated application pool. When you enabled the dedicated application pool, it creates 3 app pools right away but it only uses 1 of them. Can you make it use 1 app pool only? This is too many now that I have 200 domains with me, so this mean I'll have at least 600 app pools ang 400 of them are useless or trash.

There's no reply to this topic. What might the next version be? Or did I just wasted my time to type my comments?
