If you're using IIS 5 or higher, you can manage most IIS functionality using Windows Script Host. IIS comes with a bunch of WSH sample scripts. If you're using IIS 6, you can edit the Metabase directly, as it's just a big XML document. > And for the hardcore, there's always the MySQL command line, > which I would frequently kill -- or at least maim -- to have > in MS-SQL Server. No need to draw blood, just use osql.exe. It's been in SQL Server for quite some time. You can connect directly to a remote server if it's accessible, or you can use a remote console to run osql. If you just want a remote command line, there are plenty of ways to run telnet or ssh on a Windows machine - my favorite is a third-party product called VShell from Van Dyke.
