IIS 7.0 Manager Feature to Configuration Mapping

This is a quick reference for mapping IIS 7.0 Manager features in the feature list to configuration sections and the modules that consume those configuration sections. 

The table below shows the IIS 7.0 Manager feature name, followed by the configuration section(s) that feature reads and writes, followed by the module(s) that consume the configuration section(s).  In some cases, the configuration section is consumed by the IIS 7.0 core server, IIS 7.0 Manager, .NET Framework 2.0 or ASP.NET 2.0, and these are marked specially in square braces, e.g. [IIS 7.0 Server Core].  For more information on IIS 7.0 modules, please see the IIS 7.0 Module Overview
