Looking for II7 configuration file location (root globalization)

Configuration: IIS 7.0 / Windows Server 2008 SP2 / 32-bits

On the root node (the one named after the server name), when I look at Globalization, I see that some values are not default values.

I would like to find in which configuration file it is stored.

I already tried

  ...\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0....\Config\Machine.config
  ...\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0....\Config\Web.config
  ...\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config

None of them contains anything about

What have I missed?

Solution

  • First, there is nothing called Windows Server 2007. Maybe you are using Windows Server 2008.

    Second, IIS Manager for 7.x reads ASP.NET settings from v2.0 folders, not v4.0. Only IIS Manager for 8.x and above read from v4.0.
