I find Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager v6.1 that ships with Windows 7 extremely difficult to use. It’s good looking, but the usability is terrible. I can never find what I’m looking for.
I installed DotNetNuke this morning and wanted to play around. For the life of me I could not find where to change the application’s App Pool. This is very straightforward in previous versions, but this seems very hidden to me in v6.1. The only way I found to do it is to click on the “Basic Settings” in the Actions panel on the far right:
From there, you get a familiar dialog
Wow that was frustrating. I was literally spent 30 minutes hunting through the help file and Google’ing but found nothing. I really wish I could have the old IIS Manager back. Ever since Vista, this thing has been impossible to use :(
