Microsoft heeft een eerste bètaversie van zijn URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS 7 uitgebracht. Met deze module voor IIS 7 kun je, zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, url's herschrijven. Hierdoor kun je de gebruiker of een zoekmachine een overzichtelijker en duidelijker url meegeven; zo is de url http://example.com/Page_title herschreven van http://example.com/wiki/index.php?title=Page_title.
Deze 2.0 bètaversie bevat alle functionaliteit van de voorgaande 1.1-uitgave en voegt daar verschillende mogelijkheden aan toe om url's die door je webapplicatie worden gegenereerd ook in een gewenste vorm te herschrijven. De bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:

New Features
URL Rewrite Module 2.0 includes the following key features:More information:
- Rules-based response rewriting engine. Outbound rules are used to express the logic of what to compare parts of the response with and what to do if comparison was successful. Web server and site administrators can use outbound rules to define complex response rewriting logic.
- Rewriting within the content of specific HTML tags. Instead of scanning the entire response for a particular match, the rule can be configured to look only inside of certain HTML tags, such as <a>, <img>, etc. That way the pattern is greatly simplified and the process of applying the rule to the content is much faster comparing to applying the pattern to the entire response.
- Pre-conditions for outbound rules. Applying rewrite rules on every response is an expensive operation and is not necessary in majority of the cases. Pre-conditions are used to check the response metadata to determine if outbound rules evaluation should be applied.
- Setting of server variables and HTTP headers. Various IIS server variables and HTTP request headers can be set by using rewrite rules.
- Tracking capture groups across rule conditions. The conditions back-referencing logic in URL Rewrite 1.1 worked only against the last matched conditions. In v2 it is possible to configure back-referencing logic to work against all matched conditions.
- Logging of rewritten URLs. The module can be configured to log the rewritten URL in IIS W3C logs as opposed to logging an originally requested URL.
