Validating applicationHost.config after manual edit

[Marvin Landman]

Hi,

If I edit applicationHost.config manually and make some mistakes, there
will be no error until the affected site/path is accessed.

Is there a way or tool to validate applicationHost.config after manual edit?

Thanks.

Regards,
Marvin

Hi Marvin,

There isn't a comprehensive tool to do this so far since many configs are
stored in sites' or virtual directories' web.config.

If you just want to check if the applicationHost.config contains some
schema validation errors, the configuration editor included in IIS7 admin
pack may be of some help:

Thanks.
