Profile Groups
Profile Groups are used to group site profiles together. Normally a profile group is associated
with a specific Virtual Web Server, but it can also be associated with more than one Virtual
Web Server, for instance all the Virtual Web Servers in a clustered configuration. When a
profile group is created it is always associated with a log source. Site profiles created in the
profile group inherits the log source specification of the profile group. Only the Server
Administrator can change the log source specification of the site profile (if required).
Profile Administrators
Profile Administrators perform the role of administering site profiles for one or more profile
groups. One profile administrator can administer one or more profile groups, but only one
profile administrator can only administer a profile group.
Administrative Scripts
A large part of Server Administration is concerned with the administration of Profile Groups,
Profile Administrators and Site Profiles. Administrative Scripts can be accessed from the Profile
Groups tab in the Server Administration web interface.
The function of Administrative Scripts
Administrative scripts are used to speed up the process of creating, updating and deleting
profile groups, profile administrators and site profiles. Alternatively profile groups, profile
administrators and site profiles can be created from the Profiles tab in Server Administration.
Generating IIS Scripts
When an IIS script is generated SurfStatsLive reads the IIS configuration (called the IIS
Metabase) of the local server or the IIS configuration of any other server accessible on the
network. The IIS metabase contains information on the descriptions of the virtual web servers
as well as the location of the log files of the virtual web servers. SurfStatsLive then creates a
script file, on the SurfStatsLive Server that you can edit and run. The following IIS script
commands are available to use in IIS Scripts:
AddGroup – which adds a profile group.
AddProfAdmin – which makes the specific user the profile administrator for the profile
group. Each profile group can only have one profile administrator. No need to create
account for profile administrator anywhere else.
AddProfile – adds a profile to the specified profile group.
DelGroup – removes a profile group, the profile administrator and the site profile(s) in the
profile group.
To generate a script click Generate IIS Server Script on the Profile Groups tab, select a server,
a filename and a default administrator name. The default administrator name is the default
name of the profile administrator of all groups, which can be changed later by editing the
script file of after execution on the Profiles tab. Click the Generate Export Script to generate
the script file. After generation the script file can be edited with a text editor.
