Basic Administration Tasks
This section will provide you with a brief overview of common administration tasks and the quick answers to get your IIS server running with as little pain and time as possible.
Configuring Default Options for IIS

To configure the default options for all websites to inherit, perform the following steps:
1. Open IIS Manager.
2. Click Sites in the Connections pane.
3. Click Set Web Site Defaults in the Actions pane (see Figure 6.14). The Web Site Defaults dialog box will pop up.
4. With this dialog box, you can set a few of the basic behaviors of a website. Under the Behavior section, expand Failed Request Tracing, click Enabled, and then select True from the drop-down menu.
5. Click OK to close the dialog.
