Active Directory & ASP or CGI

[Blueboyr]

Hey people,
I have a web page up and running, and everything work great. But, I want to start adding ASP and CGI scripts to help manage on line stuff easier. I am Using W2KServer. Is there anything special that I have to configure on the server to allow me to do this, Like Active Directory ?

I do know that I need Active Directory for the E-mail that I am going to be doing next. Just wondering about this.

Thanks. Bang...
Bang...
Crap...
I am dead...

Active Directory is not needed for ASP and should not be needed for CGI, either. AD is needed for Exchange 2000, however. I am not familiar with CGI, but as far as ASP, the default installation of IIS5 should include a file called ASP.DLL that parses your ASP code. You can verify this by going to 'Properties' of your website, 'Home Directory' tab, then press 'configuration', and there will be a list of files that handle certain extensions. For the extension .ASP you'll see ASP.DLL. Just write your ASP code, give the file an '.asp' extension, and you're done.
