Wow... impressive display of knowledge. :) >However, I'd prefer not to "roll my own" end-user GUI. Although feasible, >I suspect a lot more work with ASP/ADSI than we want to tackle right now. >Are there any 3rd party GUI's of the sort described above for Win 2000 DNS? I was just going to add that we opted for something relatively simple. We searched for a GUI for a web-based DNS admin thingy for W2K DNS. All we could find were fairly expensive utility suites or open source C progs that we had problems understanding. We also played with ADSI for a while, and that got really messy too. Maybe we are just sorry programmers, but that was a painful ordeal. In the end, we found that Microsoft was a program called dnscmd.exe. I think you can download it from www.microsoft.com or get it from the W2K Server Reource Kit. It's a command line utility that lets you man-handle your W2K DNS. You can execute it from an ASP webpage using the WScript or any other windows scripting object. We had some minor problems at first trying to figure out how the permission should be setup, but overall it was the easiest (and cheapest) solution. That's all I know. -Norm Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
