TraceUriPrefix Metabase Property (IIS 6.0)

The TraceUriPrefix metabase property defines a specific URL or set of URLs to trace for IIS 6.0 request-based tracing (available in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later). When setting this property specify either a physical to a file or a relative path with a wild card.

For example: To trace a specific URL, you would type the following at a command prompt:

adsutil.vbs set w3svc/n/TraceUriPrefix=path to URL

and press ENTER. N is the number of the site as it is listed in the metabase, e.g. w3svc/1 is the default Web site (by default). Path to URL is the physical path to the file you want to trace, e.g. /Inetpub/wwwroot/asp/default.asp

To trace a set of URLs, for example all .asp pages or .aspx pages, you would type the following at a command prompt:

adsutil.vbs set w3svc/n/TraceUriPrefix=path to URL*extension

and press ENTER. N is the number of the site as it is listed in the metabase, e.g. w3svc/1 is the default Web site (by default). Path to URL*extension is the physical path to the group of files you want to trace, e.g. /Inetpub/wwwroot/asp/*.asp or /Inetpub/wwwroot/aspnet/*.aspx
