<system.webServer>

Overview

The <system.webServer> element specifies the root element for many of the site-level and application-level configuration settings for Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 in the ApplicationHost.config file, and contains configuration elements that define the settings used by the Web server engine and modules.

Note

Unlike settings that are found in <system.applicationHost>, settings in the <system.webServer> element can be delegated.
