What does aspnet_regiis.exe do exactly other than updating the document mappings to correct aspnet_isapi.dll version, is updating the ASP.NET version from inetmgr same as running aspnet_regiis, I could not find any blog post or article describing the steps this particular batch command does. Please give any links you know of detailing the steps of aspnet_regiis.exe

It is useful to me to encrypt portions of my WebConfig file (In my case the connectionStrings).

Commands:

-- Go to regiss.exe directory
C:\Users\myuser>cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319

-- Execute the encryption
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" "C:\Users\MyPublishPath"

This will encrypt your conecctionStrings from this:

<connectionStrings>
  <add name="MyProjectDB" connectionString="Data Source=192.168.X.X;Initial Catalog=MyProjectDB;User ID=User;Password=Pass" providerName="SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

To this:

<connectionStrings configProtectionProvider="RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider">
  <EncryptedData Type="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Element" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#">
