Answer 1

If on Windows Server 2003 it is simpler to use the supplied script iisapp.vbs

CScript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisapp.vbs /?
CScript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisapp.vbs /a MyApp /r

Or depending on your setup (default to Cscript not WScript), simply

iisapp /a MyApp /r

And of course it is different in IIS7
