Many questions here are of pretty poor quality, people provide not even the most basic information with their problem which could help solving it.
So recently I started work on a small PowerShell script that should help solving IIS configuration problems.
It's a single file that people can download and run on their server against a local web site.
It has basically two purposes:
1. Providing information about the static configuration of a server or a site, so people here in the forum upon seeing it can make helpful suggestions on how to fix a problem.
2. Diagnosing a failed request. I do this by running a request and then trying to get the sub-status code from the detailed error page or from the logs and then display more information about the particular problem.
For example, in case of a 401.3 it displays the NTFS ACL of the resource and suggests changes.
IIS detailed error pages do already provide helpful information, but the script can also show the current configuration that may be responsible for the problem and suggests PowerShell code to fix it or maybe fix it itself.
So far I'm covering just a few things but there are many more problems I like to add to the script.
So the question for the very active people here, what are the most common problems that you would like such a script to solve?
The script is at

and you can either reply here or use Git Hub issues directly.
