How to: Add Resources
Some settings are not available in the Settings and Constraints Editor until you add the resources that contain them. Examples of settings that you will need to add include those in configuration files such as Web.config and application pools. For a complete list of resources associated with each application, logical server, endpoint, or zones, see Web Application Resources. You can author new resources using the System Definition Model (SDM) Software Development Kit (SDK). For more information, visit the System Definition Model (SDM) SDK Workshop online.
Use the following procedure to add a settings resource.
