Errors in IIS 6.0 Documentation
1) FTP User isolation
The online help documentation for FTP user isolation is wrong. Look at this section:
To create a new FTP site that isolates users
- In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the FTP Sites folder, point to New, and click FTP Site.
- Provide the required information in the FTP Site Description and IP Address and Port Settings dialog boxes, and click Next.
- In the FTP User Isolation dialog box, click Isolate users, and click Next.
- In the FTP User Isolation Credentials dialog box, type the user name (in the form domainname\username), password, and the default user domain of the account used to access Active Directory, and then click Next.
You should not have Step 4 when isolating FTP user in normal mode. This step only apply to Isolating user with AD, If you check with your IIS help file in Windows Server 2003, it is not the same as the online version.
2) NNTP NewsFeeds.
It was good news that now IIS 6.0 support pull feeds according to the help documentation. Look at this section:
Network News Transfer Protocol Service
You can use the Network News Transfer Protocol service (NNTP service) to host NNTP local discussion groups on a single computer. Because this feature complies fully with the NNTP protocol, users can use any news reader client to participate in the newsgroup discussions. Through the Rfeed script, found in the inetsrv folder, the IIS NNTP service now supports newsfeeds. NNTP service does not support replication. To employ news feeds or to replicate a newsgroup across multiple computers, use Exchange Server.
NNTP service runs as Nntpsvc.dll and is hosted by Inetinfo.exe.
Well, I'm happy to tell you know that IIS 6.0 support full pull and push feeds. There's a new VBscripts (rfeed.vbs) located at %windir%/system32/inetsrv/. There's no information about this file in IIS 6.0, however you can look at the IIS 6.0 download I posted previously.
Microsoft has been informed about these quite a while ago, but I guess they are still 'digging' and looking for the 'pages' :)
