linux reboot and chkconfig

Setting up a new linux server pair for clients, I've did some things I haven't done in a while, so I thought I'd document them here so I'd remember in the future.

To set up a service in linux, use chkconfig. Running the chkconfig --list command shows all the potential daemons that are sitting in /etc/init.d/ and whether they are set to on|off|etc for each linux run level. The main run levels to set are 2,3,4,5. You can set the to on for http like this:
chkconfig --level 2345 httpd on

It's also a good idea to go to the script for that service in /etc/init.d (httpd in this case) and modify the chkconfig line at the top of the file to add those changed params.

To reboot the server you can run reboot. It actually calls shutdown -r or shutdown -h depending on the linux implementation.

Automated Windows Deploy scripts and tricks

Permissions (domain is optional):
cacls drive:\folder /T /E /G "domain\username:C" - :C modify permissions
cacls drive:\folder /T /E /G "domain\username:R" - :R read permissions
cacls drive:\folder /T /E /G "username:F" - :F full permissions

net localgroup "IIS_WPG" "domain\username" /add - adds user to IIS_WPG localgroup

IIS configs:
Set the friendly name for an IIS website:

cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ROOT/AppFriendlyName IIS_WEB_SITE_Name
Set the port of a website:
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ServerBindings ":8080:"
Install an IIS Application pool:
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs CREATE w3svc/AppPools/AppPoolName MyApplicationPool
Set identity type on AppPool
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/WebSiteName/AppPoolIdentityType 3 (2 is the predefined network service account)
Set appPool username
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/WebSiteName/WAMUserName username
Set appPool password
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/WebSiteName/WAMUserPass password
Delete a web site:
cscript c:\windows\system32\iisweb.vbs /delete "WebSite name"\
Create a web site:
cscript c:\windows\system32\iisweb.vbs /create "IIS File Path" "WebSite name" /dontstart
Set server bindings
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ServerBindings :80:myWebSite :80:myWebSite.com
Set virtual directory permissions
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ROOT/vDir_Name/AccessFlags 513
Set enable anonymous user for vDir
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ROOT/vDir_Name/AuthAnonymous TRUE
Set vDir anonymous username
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ROOT/vDir_Name/AnonymousUserName username
Set vDir anonymous password
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ROOT/vDir_Name/AnonymousUserPass password
Set vDir to use integrated windows authentication
cscript drive:\path-to\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/ROOT/vDir_Name/authNTLM TRUE
Set vDir ASP.NET version
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version_number\aspnet_regiis -s W3SVC/WEB_SITE_Number/root/vDir_Name
