Microsoft.IIS.Administration is no longer actively maintained

[shirhatti]

Microsoft.IIS.Administration was built using .NET Core 2.1, which reached end of life of August 21, 2021. Unfortunately, we've had to make the difficult decision to longer maintain and support Microsoft.IIS.Administration.

To make it easier to transition from Microsoft.IIS.Administration to a supported technology for managing IIS, we will be making one final update to target net6.0. This update is planned for after .NET 6 is released (expected late 2021).

Any suggestions for a supported technology for managing IIS?

[Tractivity-Jamie]

Is there any further news on when we can expect the net6.0 version to be released?
Thank you.

@shirhatti Is no longer at Microsoft so I imagine someone else will have to take over and release the update.

[jsirianni]

Would be nice to get an update

[yaqiyang]

We have updated the dev branch to support .Net 6 and will release it soon.

[intenzive]

@yaqiyang, is it reasonable to start using this API at that point on a new project?

Do you have any idea what will be the supported technology for managing IIS in the future?

[leecow]

@intenzive - Yes, once the update is available, the API will be running on an in-support version of .NET and is reasonable to use. After that point, we'll monitor things for a time to see if additional fixes are needed due to migrating to .NET 6.

We're still discussing what the supported IIS management platform might be going forward and unfortunately don't have more information at this time.

Is there an ETA for the release which supports .NET 6?

[Pilchard123]

Is there any update here?

[yaqiyang]

We are almost ready. It should be very soon to release v6.0

[Pilchard123]

Awesome! I've been looking for something like this for months, and everything I've found has either been deprecated or requires server config changes that I'm pretty sure customers won't like. If this does what I'll need (and it certainly looks like it does), you'll have at least one very happy user.

The update to target net60 has been completed and announced in #314.
