  • Article

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista

The Shared Configuration feature enables you to do the following actions:

  • Configure the Web server to use configuration files and encryption keys from a central location.

  • Export the configuration files and encryption keys from your Web server to a central location that can be shared with other servers or used to store a backup copy of configuration files and encryption keys.

This is useful when you have a Web farm and want each Web server in the farm to use the same configuration files and encryption keys.
