Reset a Site or an Application Feature to the Default Delegation State (IIS 7)

  • Article

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

If you change the delegation state for a site or application feature, but you later want the feature to return to the default delegation state, you can reset the feature to inherit the default delegation state from the parent level. This is useful if you want the delegation setting for the feature to always inherit the setting from the parent level.

Prerequisites

For information about the levels at which you can perform this procedure, and the modules, handlers, and permissions that are required to perform this procedure, see Delegation Feature Requirements (IIS 7).
