1.1 About ARKIIS
About Admin Report Kit for Internet Information Server
Admin Report Kit for IIS (ARKIIS) is a powerful reporting tool for Microsoft IIS
Administrators. ARKIIS presents IIS configuration information from the IIS Metabase
in the form of Trees, Tables and Views. All categories of information reported by ARKIIS
are available across web servers and web sites. This means that information may be
viewed and reported for several web servers in the enterprise simultaneously from a
single server machine. ARKIIS assists in monitoring and tracking IIS configuration
information in a certain way that is most suited for efficient administration and reporting
requirements, especially web servers that have a large number of web sites, virtual
directories and associated configuration settings.
1.2 Who can Use ARKIIS?
Who can benefit from ARKIIS?
Organizations running Microsoft Internet Information Servers can greatly benefit from
ARKIIS. ARKIIS is a powerful reporting tool for Microsoft Internet Information Server
Administrators.

6.1 Schedule Manager
For creating reports in non-interactive mode, ARKIIS provides a tool that facilitates
scheduled report generation. The scheduled task created using Schedule Manager can
be used to fetch the Internet Information Server settings for any number of servers
across domains. The Schedule Manager can be used to manage (create/edit/delete
tasks and add/delete reports) scheduled tasks created in ARKIIS.

The Schedule Manager will create and store the settings as a task in the
Windows Task Scheduler.

Using Schedule Manager, you can schedule the following reports
Web Sites Standard Reports
Web Sites Built-in Reports
Web Sites BulkExport Reports
FTP Sites Standard Reports
Application Pools Standard Reports
Web Service Extensions Reports
Export For Comparison Reports

The scheduled task can be associated with only one type of report namely Web
Sites Standard Reports or Web Sites Built-in Reports or Web Sites
BulkExport Reports or FTP Sites Standard Reports or Application Pools
Standard Reports or Web Service Extensions Reports or Export For
Comparison Reports

The scheduled task can be created with the task settings (schedule type, run as
parameter) provided in the Task Properties dialog. The scheduled task will not run
unless a valid password is set in Task Properties dialog.

The reports can be generated for any number of selected domain(s)/server(s) in
the enterprise.
70
Chapter-6-Schedule Manager

The generated reports can be exported in different file formats (HTML, MDB and
CSV) in the desired path/location and can also be printed.

The path refers to the destination location where the generated report should be
stored. The path can be changed while adding the reports.

In HTML file format, the information will be stored in the html file. For each
report, a HTML file will be generated. The HTML file will be stored in the specified
destination
path
under
a
directory
of
the
form
<Prefix>_<TaskName>_MM_DD_YYYY_HH_MM_SS.

In MDB file format, the information will be stored as tables in databases. For each
report, a new database will be generated. The selected reports will be created as
separate tables. The database will be stored in the specified destination path
under a directory of the form <Prefix>_<TaskName>_MM_DD_YYYY_HH_MM_SS.

In CSV file format, the information will be stored as comma separated values. For
each report, a CSV file will be generated. The file will be stored in the specified
destination
path
