It is possible to run CCUweb on a Windows XP workstation and have it update IIS on a remote server.
- IIS must be hosted on a Windows 2000/2003 server that is part of an Active Direcrtory or NT Domain. The folder inside wwwroot that will host the calendar must be shared. Permissions on the share should be set so that copying files to the share is restricted to the domain user account that is used in the scheduled task.
- The Windows XP computer hosting CCUweb must belong to the same Active Directory or NT Domain as the server hosting IIS.
- The Windows XP computer must have a mapped drive to the calendar folder share.
View the "Publish a Calendar Project using Auto-Update" available in our Quick Tours. The batch file that is used by Windows Scheduler on the Windows XP computer must be modified to connect to the server hosting IIS. The syntax for iisreset.exe must include the computer name. In this example, FS1 is the server name:
c:\windows\system32\iisreset.exe FS1 /stop
c:\windows\system32\iisreset.exe FS1 /start
When the task is scheduled, the authentication information must use a domain account ( use domain\username ) that is a member of the administrators group. Refer to Microsoft KB 317584 for additional information on using iisreset.exe and task scheduler.
