Manage IIS thorugh Web

[Faheem786]

Hi experts,

We have a website where we allow the visitors to have their own gallery website.

We would like to automate the process of creating websites and FTP accounts on an NT server.

The process is:

When the user registers with us he/she will provide their optional website name (which would be a sub domain of our website)

After we check all the information, we would like to create the website and the FTP accounts for the user automatically.

The important thing here is to create an FTP account for an user, we need to create the user first and we have to use that user name for the ftp account. I would like to manage this whole loop

I have seen many web servers having this utility but can't get the source any where.

So kindly help me how can I handle this??

I use Windows NT 4.0 and need the ASP source code.

Thanks for your help

Since I'm just system engineer with knowledge in programming I can tell you just what the principle should be:
1. For creation of users you have to use ADSI library for doing this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/netdir/adsi/creating_local_users.asp

This will be an VBscript, JScript, etc, but I don't know if you can launch it from the ASP session. Maybe you need to make an activex, cgi or something that will give you the rights to do such changes in your system

2. In IIS admin scripts (try a seach on your PC) you will find mkwebsrv.vbs. This script is creating sites
Also have a look here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnfp2k2/html/WP2_0602.asp

I suppose that there are many other issues involved there,.. but the common point is that they will run on the server, so you need a way to execute them on the server.
