How to delete IIS metabase?

I am having bizarre problems with IIS 6.0 an ASP.NET 2.0 on the Win 2003
Server in our (closed internal) development network. Following some of the
suggestions I have seen here, I have removed IIS 6.0 from the server as well
as all versions of ASP.NET. I would also like to remove the IIS metabase
(Metabase.xml & MBSchema.xml) before I re-install IIS & ASP.NET, but when I
try to do that I get a message saying that the files are in use by a
currently running program and to shut down the program first.

Can anybody provide any clues as to what the program(s) might be?

Thanks.

OK. I've figured out that it is inetinfo.exe. Why is this process running on
a machine that has IIS uninstalled? Anybody?

Tha'ts a good question. Try rebooting the machine, or kill the Inetinfo.exe
process from Task Manager.

I think we have a corrupt IIS metabase on our web cluster. The controller is replicating the problem to the members. What steps can we take to confirm our IIS metabase is intact? I would prefer not to do ADSI calls. Isn't there a command to interate thru the metabase? Many thanks, Keith

I was under the impression that creating the app_offline.htm file at the root of the webapp would cause all handles to be closed so that the app could be removed. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. One handle remains open. Debugging shows that it's actually the IIS cache and not ASP.NET that owns this handle. During IIS shutdown, the handle is closed with the following stack trace: ChildEBP RetAddr 0006fbe4 5a403e05...

I have a problem with cache headers which I cannot track down. We are running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 and ASP.NET 2.0. Our application has an installer which sets up our caching options in the metabase - specifically it sets HttpExpires="D, 0" and CacheControlCustom="no-cache" on the directory containing our web forms. In IIS manager this shows up correctly (saying expires immediately). For some specific web forms (aspx) within...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
