I have a VBS that does what i need it to do, but I'm wanting to rewrite it in VB.NET 2k5 to add more functionality. I use the logparser com object to query the log file and retrieve IP addresses of failed login attempts and count them. For every IP address where 'times >= 5' I add the IP address to the deny list in MSFTPSVC.
This function enumerates the already denied list:
FUNCTION GetBlockedIPs()
DIM rootObj : SET rootObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost
DIM ipSecObj : SET ipSecObj = rootObj.IPSecurity
GetBlockedIPs = ipSecObj.IPDeny
END FUNCTION
This function adds IP addresses to the denied list:
FUNCTION BlockIPs(IPAddresses)
DIM rootObj : SET rootObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost
DIM ipSecObj : SET ipSecObj = rootObj.IPSecurity
ipSecObj.GrantByDefault = TRUE
ipSecObj.IPDeny = IPAddresses
rootObj.IPSecurity = ipSecObj
rootObj.SetInfo
END FUNCTION
Again, the above functions are in my VB Script, which works and adds IP addresses to the denied list exactly the way I want it. That's the part I don't know how to do in VB.NET 2k5. Can anyone help me out?

Actually, I ran the function from the VBS (slightly changed):
Function GetBlockedIPs()
Dim rootObj
Dim ipSecObj
rootObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost
ipSecObj = rootObj.IPSecurity
GetBlockedIPs = ipSecObj.IPDeny
End Function
And it returns the test IP addresses I put on the deny list.

You're using ADSI & VBscript.
Use the System.DirectoryServices namespace to use ADSI in .NET.
ADSI:
Hint 1 from: http://weblogs.asp.net/rmc
---
using System.DirectoryServices;
public void GetMaps(int site_index)
{
DirectoryEntry ent = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://loca
DirectoryEntry child = new DirectoryEntry();
child = ent.Children.Find(site_ind
Array arr = (Array)child.Properties["S
foreach(string map in arr)
{
// do whatever here
}
---
ADSI & WMI:
Hint 2: http://www.developersdex.c
ADSI + .NET: (THIS ONE MAY HELP A LOT.)
