These are config files, or XML files?
Which one contains the details of the web servers and the web sites, like in the metabase.xml file of IIS 6.0 ?

Hi,
the files are *.config - the content is structured XML.
the contents of metabase.xml are distributed among all of them. You can also delegate control of content to be overridden by individual web.config files on a per application or per web site basis, so strictly speaking the config can be distributed across a very large number of possible locations.
Cheers.

Hi,
srv\config \applicati onhost.con fig \framework \v2.n.nnnn \config\ma chine.conf ig \framework \v2.n.nnnn \config\we b.config
the xml configuration of IIS7 are an enhanced version of the IIS6 web.config
You'll find them in:
%systemroot%\system32\inet
%systemroot%\microsoft.net
%systemroot%\microsoft.net
You can also add entries to these files to delegate configuration entries and permit override in machine.configm and web.config saved within the application and web site content root folders.
Cheers.
