I am administoring a very old IIS system that has been upgraded from 5.0, to 6.0 and now 7.0.
The Default Web Site has some bindings associated with it with the following:
Type: http, Port: 80, IPAddress: *, Binding Info:
Type: net.tcp, Port: Empty, IPAddress: Empty, Binding Info: 808:*
Type: net.pipe, Port: Empty, IPAddress: Empty, Binding Info: *
Type: net.msmq, Port: Empty, IPAddress: Empty, Binding Info: localhost
Type: msmq.formatname, Port: Empty, IPAddress: Empty, Binding Info: localhost
What are the net.tcp, net.pip, net.msmq, and msmq.formtname? What are they used for and why are the being bound in the IIS default site?
Thanks!

Binding a certificate to a website in IIS means that you are activating the installed digital certificate and associating it with a particular website, port, and/or IP Address.
Go to Start → Administrative Tools → Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. In the Connections pane of IIS, expand the Sites and select the website which you want to access via IP address. Click on the Bindings link and you will see current bindings of that website.
When working with a website a “binding” is the combination of protocol (http, ftp, https, etc.), IP address, TCP/IP port and host name– which is basically a domain name. In IIS7 the protocol is referred to as the “Type” of binding.
If you enable WCF, then the extra bindings are added. If you don't use WCF at all, feel free to remove them.
