Hey Folks,
Some time back I remember one meeting in which one of us mentioned that he had a Drupal setup on a server running IIS. While I lamented anyone having to tolerate such a setup at the time, I am now faced with the same dilemma.
In the university where I work, I have just set up a Drupal 6 site on a server running Windows IIS 6. The install was relatively painless, but I have yet to get clean urls working. I found a post at http://drupal.org/node/3854 that gives different options but I wanted to ask someone local who had travelled the road before.
So, who has done this and how did you manage it?
One thing I should mention is that I do not have direct access to server's back end, and that whatever configuration is needed will have to be done by a server admin - who is really security conscious and views anything "open source" with suspicion.

ISAPI Rewrite
We use Helicon's ISAPI Rewrite as mentioned in the post you've linked. Configure it as indicated and you shouldn't have any trouble except I didn't see this anywhere:
// Isapi_Rewrite 3.x
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'])) {
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'];
}
Though the post says it will 'just work', on our configuration the line above is/was needed in settings.php.
Thanks for the info. Your
Thanks for the info. Your server is with Pitt isn't it? Which department? May I have a site address to showcase? Did you setup your IIS? If so, may I pass your name along for any questions?

Yeah, I'm at Pitt - formerly
Yeah, I'm at Pitt - formerly with Marketing, now with Law. We don't administer our webservers, they're handled by central computer services- so no, I didn't config IIS. Drupal sites: http://www.law.pitt.edu. http://www.creativewriting.pitt.edu, http://www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu, http://www.music.pitt.edu are examples. I built the first two. Feel free to get in touch if I might be of help.
Thanks
Thanks Mark. I have passed this on to our server admin.
