### DirectoryLevelsToScan

This property specifies the number of virtual directory levels to scan in the metabase from the top of the tree (that is, the root virtual directory for a server) to build a list of directories to be monitored for file system changes. The valid range is 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF (unlimited). If a virtual directory is not included in the list, then the IIS cache will not be flushed when a file change occurs in the directory. This list is also used for down-level remote administration from earlier versions of IIS.
