Enable\configure RDS with the following steps:
1) Create and configure the MSADC virtual directory in IIS as described in KB
article
318817 - PRB: Configure RDS on a Windows XP IIS Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318817
-AND-
2) The next step is to "Allow" IIS to run "all unknown ISAPI extensions". This was
configured by manipulating the Web Service Extensions node in IIS Manager.
-OR-
3) Step #2 is a catch all. If you just want to enable the RDS ISAPI, follow these
steps instead,
a. In IIS Manager, expand the computer name, and then click Web Service Extensions.
b. In the details pane, click Add a new Web service extension.
c. In the Extension name box, type the name of the new Web service extension. For
RDS, I used .rds as the extension. I think you can use any extension as long as it
not an actual extension in use.
d. Click Add.
e. In the Path to file box, type the path or click Browse to navigate to the file
<root drive>\program files\common files\system\msadc\MSADCS.DLL and click OK.
f. Optionally, select the Set extension status to Allowed check box to
automatically set the status of the new Web service extension to Allowed.
g. Click OK.
-AND-
4) If using the RDS DataControl or the default RDS DataFactory to retrieve data, it
appears you would have to also implement the RDS handler because there is now way
to disable it like you could in earlier versions of Windows. This is a new
restriction for Windows 2003. If you are using RDS to instantiate a custom
business object, the RDS handler is not required.
