Does anyone know what's actually happening to the microsoft NNTP server?
I've seen some reference to it in the IIS 4.0 beta but cannot find it there. All references to Normandy now say go use site server, but its not part of site server.
Anyone know what's happened to this elusive piece of software? Has it been killed by the exchange group? Did the source safe server for it suffer a disk crash? Did the guy developing it simply shoot himself one morning?
Hi, There is an NNTP server in IIS4. I D/Led the full version for NT and it was there.

My understanding is it is in fact included with IE 4.0; however if you review the MS roadmap for the messaging products you will notice a merger between the Exchange Server platform and MCIS.

In the Beta of IIS4 the NNTP server did support Feeds (Well, there is a feeds tab at least, I didn't test it though)

I'm installing the IIS 4.0 version right now. By 'doesn't support feeds' does that mean it only copes with local newsgroups? If so that is somewhat lame.
I've checked out the IIS 4 nntp server, I could not find any mechanism for doing feeds (either inbound or outbound). It has support for authentication and even for SSL but not for feeds.
This is major lossage IMHO, I guess we're going to have to pretend to be an ISP and get hold of the real news server. :-)

yes, i have gotten it to work - a quick note : (it has probably already been posted) - but DON'T USE spaces in your project names - there are several portions of the GUI interface that are not happy with them ;

Is it possible to develop with MCIS Membership 1.0, that when you sign-in to the site it starts billing you a flat rate of $19.95 for 30 hours, and then after the 30 hours has been used up it flips over to billing you $2.50/hr and/or upsells you to buying a full membership?
MBS 1.0 does not include a biling system. It does have billing APIs for applications to write billing events to on the app server and feed them to a back end event collector. From there you would need to use a third party billing system such as those offered by Portal or LHS that integrate with our event collector and actually perform the billing functions.

The NNTP server is released, however the Mail server is only available to registered ISPs (as opposed to the general public) because the MCIS group didn't want to step on the Exchange Server group's toes.

Microsoft has made some important changes to the MSDN web site to give developers still more ready access to vital reference material. I think this will be of interest to most developers, whether they are current MSDN subscribers or not.

However, it appears the cookie is being set and stored. I've looked through the cookie file and there are cookies for www.microsoft.com and also for .microsoft.com. It appears to use a GUID and store all additional information on the server.

I also tried to gain some idea of pricing. I think that the key is, MS are not going to announce "official" public pricing. You will get referred to an account rep. and they'll work it with you, depending upon numerous factors.
Hope this helps, Nige.

I am SOOOOO confused on how to get IRCOPs defined on the chat servers...
I specified @genevaonline.com but how do I test IRCOP status?
I talked with Kent on the Microsoft Chat server and he pointed me to the HKEYlocalmachine/... yadda yadda...../services/ChatSvc/ registry setting.. Apparently, class settings have no bearing on the IRCOP settings, but it must be a "permission" setting in the registry.
The latest release of the News server has a Web Admin tool written in .pgi pages. I was hoping to create a similar functionality in ASP pages, but haven't had any success. For example, <% set x=Server.CreateObject("MSWC.Nntp") If not IsObject(x) then response.write "could not create news object" end if %> always generates the error:
Server object error 'ASP 0177:8002802a' Server.CreateObject Failed /nntp.asp, line 12 The call to Server.CreateObject failed. The requested object instance cannot be created.
I was just trying to do the same thing myself yesterday, and found that if you rename the .asp extension to a .pgi extension this problem goes away. As far as I can make out this object or the .pgi pages expect you to be authenticated, so this won't work from a non-Administrator account. This is a pity as it would be nice to create a web front end showing all the active News Groups. I tried to find some documentation on .pgi pages but haven't had any luck. They seem to behave slightly different from .asp pages, and use

To admin my chatserver, I simply use NTLM authentication to connect to the webserver in IISADMIN and can make the settings there...

I've noticed that a lot of the Normandy components use .pgi files in a Web browser for administration. I've looked at the code in these .pgi files, and it appears to be the same style as .asp files. I'm also wondering if anyone knows of any documentation on the ActiveX server components these pages use, such as MSWC.nntp for news and MSWC.crs for content replication. Thanks, Daragh.

I hope I am right here for questions with the MS NEWS Server. I've setupt the server and it runs. For our IT personnel I want to feed news from MSNEWS.MICRSOFT.COM.
That works with an automatic interval. But we have only dialup connections to the net. What I want to do is a feed from the commandline. I need a working example for the RFEED utility. I cannot get it to work. In the best case I'll disable the automatic feed (may be from the GUI [it's easy], than enable it, dialup and do the feed. How?
It appears that any Active Server Page can create, read, write or overwrite any file on the system, regardless of security permissions. I hope I'm not missing something really stupid, but here's how to recreate the situation. Share out the wwwroot directory to a user, or use InterDev and allow the user to login to the web. This I would imagine is all that you want the user to see. If this user creates an .asp page, and uses the Scripting.FileSystemObject, he has full control over any file on the machine.

From what I've seen and gotten from Microsoft, the filter DLL is running in the security context of IIS. It is because of this that a filter DLL can mistakenly access files the current Web user shouldn't be able to. Under the same guise, I'd assume that anything down the line should also not be able to go
I've got IIS 3.0, and so far things have worked pretty good. However, when I secure a script subdirectory, security is still wide open.
I've removed all priviledges to the subdirectory containing scripts that I wish to be secure (require account and password to run). The only thing currently granted is (SYSTEM has read access, and a group for users that should get to it have read access).
Actually, I think you are missing the point -- no offense.
Internet Service Manager has the ability to restrict access to your site by IP address. It also has the ability to say whether files in a directory can be ran and/or read.
When securing your site based on membership (who you are, not where you are located), IIS turns to NTFS and the security access associated with the file. For instance, in IIS you have the ability to say "Allow Anonymous". This is used in conjuction with the "Anonymous Logon". The reason is simple, and file that can be

Are you setting the permissions to be read only, or execute only ? If you want to avoid the A.S.P period problem, then the directory should be set to execute only. If I'm missing the point, just let

How do I post it? The moderator is identified by an email address, not by an account. Whenever I post something into the news reader it gets mailed to the moderator, who is also me. I'm new to this so it may be something obvious, but I sure don't see it. Is there some other tool I need to use?
Here are the steps how a moderator posts an article he receives via email to the INS server... this procedure is also described in chapter 4 "operating news server" on page 72 of the MCIS INS documentation (also on the cdrom)
When you receive the message you'll need to "cut & paste" highlight the article and click on copy or past.. then telnet into your news server and manually post it... watch the typo's if you make a single error you can't backspace you need to start the post over in the example below name of newsgroup is "testgroup"
When you find one, please let me know, I spent a couple of days searching on just before Christmas. While there are a number of shareware mailers out there that will perform as you require, I found none that will permit the attachment of MIME encoded messages.
The closest was the Exchange sendmail, which is really a MAPI sender.
I'm trying to setup the MS Internet Chat Service on my server. Everything is fine when I use michat.exe. I can chat and everything, but I'd like a more web-based format (I'd like to embed the interface right into a web page and michat.exe forces the client to open a channel rather than simply logging on and then finding an open channel). I've looked at the chatfind.htm and the associated pages that installed with the chat server. They run fine with one exception. They give a URL of mic//server/channel. My server currently doesn't know how to handle the mic
I have a question relating to a combination of the MPS and NT authentication. I want to demonstrate both authentication and personalization. What I want to do is have a login page that prompts for the account name and password. If the user has been authenticated, I want to start a personalized page. (I do not use the Membership system since I have not been able to install it.)
Can someone point me to where in the ILS docs it tells you how to setup a NetMeeting User Locator Server? I've not been able to find anything that deals with NetMeeting specifically. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place but I need some help.
I found that no special configuration was required at all. Just tell NetMeeting to use the server you have established and you show up in the directory listing within seconds.
The ILS verification page works with netmeeting. If you install netmeeting on a PC that has access to your ILS server, and you select this server from netmeeting, the verification shows you're online. If you have 2 netmeeting systems, and both are connected to the ILS server, just clicking the URL on the verification page (http://<dns-name-of-server>/ILS/verify/verify.htm with default installation) will start netmeeting on the other system. Look at those URLs for working with Netmeeting.
Just downloaded the latest beta of the news server and it said I needed sp1 for NT4. No problem, downloaded that too. Installed it and ran the setup for news server, which promptly told me that I had NOT done sp1. Anybody have this problem and any workarounds. Perhaps I'm doing the sp1 wrong?

I went to download SP2 today and it was gone. The HREFs were still pointing to it but the file was gone.
Can you verify it's still there? I was wondering if they pulled it off the site for some reason...

We are trying to install MPS. After installation, which goes fine, we get the following error when trying to access the Property Database on our asp page:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied: 'prop'
/mps/personalize.asp, line 24
Permissions on the shared directory are set to full.
Does anyone know how to fix this? We are using the latest version of MPS. Brian Jennings Olsen + Cyrus Associates
Well afte going through the documentation a few times, I saw that the only way to authenticate someone for the chat server is basicly through NTLM and this has to be done in this manner [log in to unmask]
But this would require a different userid for the web and for the Chat ?
Ok, well after playing around with some dll's and a bit of programming I was a able to create a program that adds a user to the nt database, now the only time this program works is when I run it from the station.
I need to be able to automate the creation of accounts for authentication purposes on the chat server.
We are moving all of the Microsoft Internet Technology mailing lists and message archives to new server hardware some time soon, probably within 24 hours, to maintain our high level of service. This will cause a short interruption in service, but shouldn't have any other effects. None of the addresses or other information will change.
I spoke with one of our Product Managers regarding this issue. He reports that the MBS (Membership System) portion of the Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS = Normandy) will not be released to the Web. MBS is positioned primarily for Corporate accounts.
Once MBS is released, you will be able to acquire the product through our Corporate Sales group.
Right now we are using some 3rd party software to control access to IIS 2.0 web pages. Now there is nothing out there to control access to the MS chat server. (Might have to look at unix for a solution here =( )
Right offhand, I'm not sure what the best tool is for controlling access to your chatserver, but your webaccess can be arranged quite simply using standard NTFS file-level access control. You should bear in mind that "The Beast" (Sicily) was built 'cause NT can *only* deal with about 100000 users :-). The membership System deals with about 5 Million users per setup!! Try out webaccess with standard NT security. It's worth it!!
Yes, Microsoft Membership System (MBS) is the product that includes the tecnology formerly code-named Sicily. MBS is designed for very large services that need scalable authentication and access control as well as billing interfaces that integrates tightly with the application servers in the Microsoft Commercial Internet System line (Normandy).
Others on the list will have to respond to your additional questions.
NT security is definitely the best solution for Intranets and most Web sites. You can create tens of thousands of accounts in the native NT 4 security database and its very easy to administer. Microsoft's Internet servers - IIS as well as the Mail (IMS), News (NNTP), Chat and Address Book (LDAP) - support authenticating users against against the security database using either the widely support clear-text logon (BASIC) protocols (with or without SSL for channel encryption to protect the password) to the more secure, single logon NT challenge-response protocol (NTLM) that
I hear what you are saying about Sicily but how do you automate the creation of NT accounts, say through Denali? or is this the wrong list to ask?

Automation of NT accounts can be done with some calls to netui1.dll, you'll find everything you need if you do a search on Q159498 on microsoft., but you'll need to keep an extra database for customer information.
Why didn't Normandy come with and uninstaller?? It's not functioning correctly, when I do the verify and the templates provided it does not store my name in either one, but it does store the other fields. Go figure.
No. The MS Chat server does not at this point do server to server IRC only client to server. It speaks another protocol server to server.

Thanks for the response. Is this server/server protocol defined in some RFC or IETF-draft, or can Microsoft supply the specifications?
In our ISP, a chat server is useless if we cannot link it in a network with other providers. Using chatsock maybe we can set up a gateway.

I have a question about MS BackOffice. I am a computer science major, and i'm taking my senior project this semester, i'm doing a study on MS BackOffice and especially the IIS and the SQL Server, i have gathered some information about them, but nothing is like first hand experience, I would be very grateful if you could tell me about the advantages and the disadvantages of these products.
There are people on this list and that's a good sign.
So has anybody installed the Normandy news server yet? I'm interested in finding out how well it works. I've downloaded it and want to set it up on our Intranet, but am waiting for the right time; meaning having time enough to do it :)
<<< So has anybody installed the Normandy news server yet? I'm interested in finding out how well it works. I've downloaded it and want to set it up on our Intranet, but am waiting for the right time; meaning having time enough to do it :) >>>
We're running it on our intranet now. It seems to work okay, although we haven't used it very intensively. We're trying it out as a means of open discussion about the ongoing R&D projects.
Regarding Normandy News server, we are using it in production environment( I mean Full News Feed ) for several days and everything seems to be OK. We replicate news feed from the UNIX based machine ( central news server in Czech Republic) without any problems.
On the other hand I have no experience with high server load (1000+ users), We use DECAlpha based machine and performance is good.
I have a non-Normandy Question for you...I'm trying to link up my in-laws so we can use e-mail etc., to communicate. I'm having a hard time finding dialup service (local) for them. They are in Vrchlabi, do you know of any ISP servicing that region (perhaps Trutnov?).

I am looking into a project that would require interfacing with various Normandy components. The project would involve developing a WinNT 4.0 system service, and communicating with Normandy's Merchant server and Chat Server. Aside from the Chat Server API, what other developer resources are there for doing this type of thing?
Microsoft - I am not part of the private Normandy beta, but would like to be. If you can point me to the right resources, I would very much like to develop my groups online project on Normandy, but I need to be able to add on to the
I have the sneaking suspicion that the reason that this is so difficult is that it opens up many issues of privacy and security and so it may simpy not been implemented to avoid this whole issue.

He is correct. Here is a little more clarification. The user properties database is accessed by the MPS SSO (MPS.ProperyDatabase in the example below) by using the GUID in the cookie to do a lookup/query in the database. This GUID is essentially the key to the database. There is no other way for the MPS object to gain access to this information and it would therefore be unable to obtain any info from the database other than for the user who to which the cookie belongs on that machine.
Thanks for your feedback. What I've found, and I'm sure you probably can't duplicate due to not having any other filter DLLs than ASP, is more in regards to IIS itself, and not ASP.
Before I get into the specifics, let me reply on your points. * I had already disabled the "Windows NT Challenge/Response" in IIS * I have tested in IE 3.01 and Navigator 4.0 Preview 2

Okey, well I thought the MBS would be an integration between billing and account management.
Then here's my problem.
I'm using a 3rd party dll to filter users into a pay site, (the filter checks a table to see if a user is in there, and if so, gives it the go ahead to get the info under a directory....)
From a management perspective; Administrators need to be able to look into the MPS database like any database. (Even if its a textual database in this case). There must be a way to impersonate GUIDs and come up with a table of GUIDs versus its properties.
Kevin, can you tell me if this is at all possible with site server 1.0? I need to have this by middle of august 1997. If it's not possible; I will have a mirror of the MPS properties inside a SQLserver database. Every change or update to the MPS is reflected in my
Hi Bob, ok well by what you are saying MBS is not for me for now.
Now why wouldn't Microsoft add an authentication option to their chat server or anyother application(web,news,....) that would look for a username and password in specified columns of a specified table of a specified database through either jet/odbc/sql. ?
