I face a problem when changing setting using IIS MANAGER in Windows 2012 R2. All changes made are stored in web.config user file, and this is a problem, beacuse when user update the App, the web.config is overwrighted and all changes are loose.

How can I change the IIS MANAGER to default edit APPLICATIONHOST.CONFIG and never update the user web.config at site level?

Open IIS on the server level and then click on the Feature Delegation in the Management section. Change all settings that you want to be stored in ApplicationHost.config to Read only

Feature Delegation

This is a server-wide setting for all sites, if you have existing sites that define some of these settings in their web.config , you may break them because their configuration becomes invalid.

Alternatively, you could use the Configuration Editor and never use the normal icons. In the configuration editor you can decide where to store the settings.
