SMTP server to send email to customers
Hi...from time to time we send out the seasonal promotion email to our
existing customers, currently outsource the service, but due to the
cost, we are thinking of bring it in house.
Thinking of set up a saparated SMTP server, in order not to upset our
exchange server/internal network, let me draw a picture of the setups:
1) a new ADSL connection
2) a firewall
3) a separeted subnet behind the new ADSL
4) a stand alone Windows 2003 server with SMTP service enable or IIS
installed, DNS server points to a the ISP's DNS server.
5) an ASP page to send mail batch from our CRM system.
Will this work?
Is there any limitation on how many messages to be in queue at the
same time?
How would I evaluate the speed/amount of the messages being delivered?
How could it not to be labelled as SPAM by other servers?
Do I actually has to set up a separated subnet in the above steps?
What happend if the SMTP server is at the same domain as Exchange?
Will it change the way how Exchange server sending the email now?
A long question, thanks for the patient.

schedule to start web server automatically
Hello,
I would like to make sure my web server gets hit periodically every 1 hours
or so in case aspnet_wp.exe process gets recycled because memory consumption
exceeds the setting limit - it would get relaunched and my code (static)
gets to run again.
I can put this in a batch file and have it scheduled to run:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
http://MySite/website/index.aspx
The problem with that approach is that it doesn't return and a new IE window
will be launched and stay up forever until somebody has to manually shuts it
down.
Do you know any other way? Thanks! Tag: IIS 5 Isolation mode Tag: 360707
Display file contents for all extensions
I have a server with a directory that needs to have IIS serve several
files all with varying file extensions. Basically, we need the .*
extensions\ to be able to be requested and served, rather than giving a
404 error. Any ideas on how to do this if we don't know exactly what
filenames will be added? Tag: IIS 5 Isolation mode Tag: 360697
need to view contents of metabase (IIS 5) independent of machine
Has anyone seen a utility program that would display the contents of a
metabase.bin in a readable format when it is not on the machine it was
created on.
We have a machine that was hacked to the point of being non bootable from a
sister agency. The security folks have been able to recover the metabase.bin
from the server, but without its underlying server the normal tools for
looking at the metabase are not working. Tag: IIS 5 Isolation mode Tag: 360694
FTP upload failures on 2003 server-urgent
while uploading 450mb files ftp fails half way through, and I am unable to
continue using ws_ftp. This failure is apparently cvaused by a second FTP
session beginning on another directory on the server. What is the cause of
this interaction, and how do I resolve it?

ftp timeout?
Hello,
I'm trying to host a couple rather large files w/ Windows 2003 Server FTP.
I've configured the "timeout" parameter on both the site I'm using, and the
main(default) site for HUGE numbers and I'm still getting timeout errors on
clients.
Can anyone suggest what/where I might be missing something? Tag: IIS 5 Isolation mode Tag: 360686

iis and dns configuratio behind firewall
I am setting up web servers at a co-location facility. All of the web servers
will be sitting behind a PIX 515 firewall on a private network of 10.10.10.0
addresses. The web servers are currently on the DMZ on our internal network
have multiple IP addresses configured in TCP/IP with the public IP addresses.
Should the new TCP/IP config be setup with private IPs and the sites be
configured with private IPs and let the firewall NAT to the outside?
We are also running primary and secondary DNS for the sites. Will the sites
be setup with public IP addresses?
Thanks for any help. Tag: IIS 5 Isolation mode Tag: 360678
Permissions with IIS 6.0
I'm running an ASP.Net web application on Windows Server 2003. The
application is attempting to launch a non-ASP.Net web application to no
avail. Specifically, nothing happens when the user clicks a launch button.
The code for launching the second application is of the following format (C#
language):
Response.Redirect("<url_name>")
I suspect this is a permissions issue with Windows Server 2003. The code
runs on Windows XP without any problem. To confirm this, I ran the
PermissionVerifier utility that is part of the IIS 6.0 resource kit. The
test failed, and indicated that ASPNET did not have the
SeInteractiveLogonRight.
The recommended solution is to add the ASPNET client to the "Log on as a
service" policy in the "User Rights Assignment" folder in the "Local Security
Settings" dialogue. However, ASPNET is already included in this group. I
checked all the other policies to insure the proper users had been added.
Any help would be appreciated.

My web pages are not being updated correctly
Hello,
I'm having a problem with the IIS 6.0 server, serving up my web pages.
Windows 2003. I have the following four html files and one *.dll
executable.
The first html file, called user.html, contains html code that divides my
web page into 3 frames. (heading frame, left or menu frame, and right
frame). This works fine.
user.html
<html>
...
<frameset rows="125,*" framespacing="2" border="1" frameborder="1">
<frame src="../User/heading.html" scrolling="auto" name="heading">
<frameset cols="200,*" framespacing="2" border="1" frameborder="1">
<frame src="../User/menu.html" scrolling="auto" name="left_frame">
<frame src="../User/home.html" scrolling="auto" name="right_frame">
</frameset>
</frameset>
...
</html>
The second html file, called menu.html, contains the following html code
which has a link.. Clicking on the link will execute a .dll which should
ouptut a new web page. I have the target, as target="_parent".
menu.html
<html>
....
<font face="Arial"><b><a href="../Scenario/Scenario_Link/Scenario_Link.dll"
target="_parent">Scenario</a></b></font>
...
</html>
This .dll, called Scenario_Link.dll, when executed, makes a request to the
server to output the third html file, called scenario_link.html. This web
page will consist of the three frames(heading, menu, and right) where the
right frame will be updated with new html code(fourth html file,
scenario_generation_update_frame.html). The html code for this
scenario_link.html file is:
scenario_link.html
<html>
...
<frameset rows="125,*" framespacing="2" border="1" frameborder="1">
<frame src="../../User/heading.html" scrolling="auto" name="heading">
<frameset cols="200,*" framespacing="2" border="1" frameborder="1">
<frame src="../../User/menu.html" scrolling="auto" name="left_frame">
<frame
src="../Scenario_Generation/scenario_generation_update_frame.html"
scrolling="auto" name="right_frame">
</frameset>
</frameset>
....
</html>
When one clicks on the Link, the .dll is executed, which updates the
scenario_generation_update_frame.html file and then makes a request to the
server with the scenario_link.html file as its source. The server does
output the correct web page the first time, but subsequent clicks on the
Link, does not change the web page even though the file,
scenario_generation_update_frame.html, has been updated and changed, which
is part of the scenario_link.html file which is sourced to the server.
I've tried sourcing the scenario_link.html file as a file and then as a
buffer to the server but the same thing happens. Namely, it works for the
first click, but subsequent clicks the web page is not being updated or
changed even though the scenario_generation_update_frame.html has been
updated correctly.
Any ideas? Let me know if you need more information. Thank you. Tag: IIS 5 Isolation mode Tag: 360673
Publising Frontpage Website
When I'm ready to publish my Frontpage website, does frontpage have to be installed on the server that I'm publishing too?

IIS Logs
I am using IIS 5 Logs W3C Extended format I need to collect vital information
on authenticated users on the website?
All the entries for the authenticated username for the fields cs-username
are empty in the above IIS logs the other information appears to be captured
in the above logs The user name and password are entered into an ASPX login
form, but the actual authentication is performed by forms authentication.
I need the username in the log files in order that webtrends log analyzer
could use it to provide meaningful information about the web usage. How can I
code the ASPX login form to push the authenticated username into the IIS
logs?
What object collection in IIS contains the authenticated users or current
user logged on for the session?

Session timeout runs unexpectedly
Hi,
We have a webapplication on IIS 5.0 using ASP technology.
The application runs a lot of forms.
On these forms we are tracing how many forms are opened, printed
and sent to recievers that are spesified. This is stored in a MSSQL
database.
A form created by a user uses the logID (used for tracing) to define the
temperary
form and is stored on the harddisk in xml format.
The thing is that many forms created by the end user seems to loose the
logID.
And the log shows that meny users loose the session that holds the logID on
Session_OnEnd.
Thats because I insert a row to the log when Session_OnEnd has run.
The log shows for a spesific user that a form has been generated on a
spesifc time and the
Session_OnEnd has been run 4 minutes after creation. The timeout on the
server is 60 minutes.
This only shows that the IIS server drops sessions form time to time. Can
concur on this??
For some reason session may be stoped without even though timeout is not
reached.
Hope someone can help me...
In advance thanks a lot!!
Kind regards,

Multiple IP addresses
Hi all,
I have a Windows 200 server that has 2 network cards. Both cards are
assigned internal addresses (10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.2) Our Firewall does NAT
to translate the external address to the internal address. This machine hosts
2 websites.
We have need for a third website. I have looked into assigned multiple IP's
to one card and could not get that to work. I have seen a mention on have
Win/2000 server host more than 2 websites, but cannot find anymore
information.
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
