General information

• After installing FrontPage extensions, you must right click on the web site and run the ‘Check Server Extensions’ options once
• Inetpub directory needs “INTERACTIVE’ and ‘NETWORK’ read-only access
• Your wwwroot directory needs the following FrontPage local computer group permissions:
  • %SERVER% Admins = Read-Write <–generally, your server or domain admins…unless you delegate developers to have admin control over your FrontPage configuration.
  • %SERVER% Authors = Read-Write <–contains those user accounts that will connect remotely via InterDev tools and need only read-write access (ie. your Developers).
  • %SERVER% Browsers = Read-Only <–contains those user accounts that will connect remotely via InterDev tools and need only read-only access.
  • ‘IUSR’ and ‘IWAM’ need Read-Only access. I have seen some custom web applications which Read-Write access with these accounts, but this is not recommended.
• Use DNS Fully Qualified Domain Names rather than NetBIOS UNC names when connecting remotely to the FrontPage server from you .NET or InterDev tools, etc…
  (ie. use http:server.faa.gov rather than \\server )
  [NOTE – It is a Microsoft Recommended method to use https: protocol for remote developer FrontPage access.]
  [FYI – It is a Microsoft Recommended method to NOT rename IIS servers. MS suggests that IIS be uninstalled, rename the server, then re-install and configure IIS.]
