Mapping IIS 6.0 WMI Methods to IIS 7 and higher WMI Methods1

The table below shows the IIS 6.0 WMI provider class methods mapped to the IIS 7 WMI provider class methods. Most of the IIS 6.0 WMI class methods do not map to IIS 7 WMI provider class methods because of the significant architectural changes that were implemented in IIS 7 to improve processes and provide additional features. Use this table to help you convert your IIS 6.0 programmatic administration to use IIS 7 WMI provider classes and methods.

IIS 6.0 WMI provider classes that do not have methods do not appear in this table. For information about how those classes are mapped to IIS 7 WMI classes and schema elements, see Converting Metabase Properties to Configuration Settings.
