I am sure there will be a tirade of Anti Microsoft sentiment for a simple statement of being able to deploy WUG using IIS.
It would be nice to have WUG be able to deploy on any or a specific set of Web Servers and those Web Servers being separate from the Main WUG machine. Most products that are web based have options to install on platforms other that IIS and support IIS as well. This forum is about WUG not "I hate Microsoft" I personally would like to see a bit more flexibility in the Web interface of WUG -----Original Message----- From: Jay Drew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 8:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] WUG and IIS For security reasons, I'd have to seriously consider another product if WUG switched to using IIS. I'd accept WUG going to Apache, but never IIS.
