I try to modify the metabase of IIS6, I've cheched the checkbox to enable direct Metabase Edit.
I do my modification, I save and When I do iisreset my modifications are rollbacked.
What can I do?

Direct metabase updates will be overwritten by flushing pending in-memory changes to disk after an IISRESET, controlled shutdown or IIS just flushing a change whilst running.
IIS isn't clever enough to detect and merge changes that may have happened in memory with changes that may have been the result of a direct edit on
metabase.xml
.If you really need to edit the metabase directly, stop IIS first, do your edit then restart, that's the sure-fire way to ensure direct edits will persist.
Did you know that the
adsutil.vbs
script will allow you to modify pretty much any part of the metabase? This is a much safer and more reliable method than direct edits.
