Automate Virtual Host Setup

[gerald]

I work for a web hosting company, and currently when we get an order for web hosting on an NT server, we have to go in and manually do all of the steps to set it up. Add the user, create the home directory, add the Web Site in IIS, setup Frontpage extensions, add the admin and mail virtual directories, and setup the IMail server. <br><br>On our Linux servers, all of the software used to setup the different services is command-line based so it is easy to write scripts to automate the process. <br><br>And it sure is a pain to have to do all of these steps manually on the NT servers, especially since the servers are located in a seperate facility and I have to connect using PC Anywhere which is hideously slow over our DSL connection. <br><br>I was wondering if anybody has had any success in automating these processes on NT and what avenues I would need to take to do the same?<br><br>Is it possible to do using ASP scripts?<br><br>Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give me.<br><br><br>Gerald<br><A HREF="mailto:gfishel@BellSouth.net">gfishel@BellSouth.net</A><br>
