Xeon processor 5160 WebBench 5.0 performance report
Installing Internet Information Services
WebBench requires a Web server, so we installed the Windows Internet Information Services with the following
procedure:
1. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. Highlight Application Server and click the Details button.

Deploying WebBench data
WebBench includes data that must reside on the server and that the Web server must use. We loaded that data
and set the Web server to use it with the following procedure:
1. Copy the file wbtree.exe from the WebBench CD to the wwwroot directory on the server under test. (The
wbtree.exe file is on the WebBench CD at \wb50\workload).
2. On the server, execute the wbtree.exe file. This program will copy the WebBench workload to the server.
3. In the wwwroot folder on the server, create a new folder with the name CGI-BIN.
4. Copy the file simisapi.dll from the wwwroot folder to the CGI-BIN folder.
5. Click Start button -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management to open the
management console.
6. Go to Services and Application ->Internet Information Services ->Default Web Site -> CGI-BIN, and right
click to bring up a menu. Select Properties.
