1、if you have lots of url rewite rules, this method is recommanded

file: app/core.php

line: 95

original: //Configure::write(‘App.baseUrl’, env(‘SCRIPT_NAME’));

modify: Configure::write(‘App.baseUrl’, env(‘SCRIPT_NAME’));

url: that will add “/index.php/” to you url for default portal for all controller

then:  remove .htaccess files

done!

2、url rewriter ISAPI fliters for IIS

http://www.iismods.com/

http://www.isapirewrite.com/

after install the fliters, you have to reconfig rewrite rules for you app, as RegEx and syntax of those rewriter is different from apache more or less.
