After installing ArcIMS, you must create virtual directories for Manager, Output, and Website. A virtual directory is a mapped location on the Web server to a physical path.
Note: If you browsed to the location of your Web server root directory to create directories for Output and Website during ArcIMS post installation setup, you don’t need to create virtual directories for Output and Website.
For IIS 4.0, click Start > Programs > Windows NT Option Pack > Microsoft Internet Information Server > Internet Service Manager. Expand your localhost name.
For IIS 5.0, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Services Manager. Expand your localhost name.
For IIS 5.1, click Start > Internet Information Services. Expand your local host folder and expand Web Sites.
