Re: Admin Programs and FPSE not compatible

You would have to use the command line or the FP2000 Admin application.

'preciate the info Thomas.
I guess my issue with this is that the Microsoft FPSE 2002 download page
says, "FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 are compatible with Microsoft
FrontPage 2002 and all previous versions of FrontPage" And now I'm
wondering: If someone decides that they do want to use the older server
extensions for a site, will they be able to administer them from the IIS MMC?

FYI: There are cases where you can not upgrade a site that is running the FP2000 extension to the
FP2002 extensions, so under Windows 2000 server you can choose which version of the extensions
you
want to run per site.

Re:Can you share with us what this means?

Sure Tom...
Since the old server extensions are not removed when you install the new
ones, and there are still references to the old ones in the IIS MMC, if you
try to do anything to the old server extensions you will get the
incompatibility error message.
IMHO, when the new server extensions were installed, all references to the
old ones should have been removed in the IIS MMC. For instance: If I go to a
Web erver in the IIS MMC, and right click the properties for that Web, then
select "All Tasks" it still shows "Check Server Extensions" but you can no
longer "Check Server Extensions" because it is trying to check the OLD server
extensions. Of course, if you select "Check Server Extensions 2002" it will
work. But why are the old server extensions left in the MMC if they can no
longer be administered from there? ... Your guess is as good as mine... The
new extensions are supposed to be downwardly compatible, so why leave the old
ones on the server.. especially if they have to be command-line administered
because the IIS MMC won't let you administer them.. Maybe I'm just retarded
or something, but it seems to me that the MMC references to the old server
extensions should have been removed during the 2002 FPSE installation.

Thanks!

Yeah Tom, I looked there.
I have resolved the issue and for the sake of others who may be having the
same issue I will post the steps I took to fix the issue.
First read: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=898922
Note: When the Front age 2002 Server Extensions are Installed, the old
server extensions are left on your machine - FPSE 2002 doesn't upgrade the
old server extensions, it installs new ones, and leaves the old
administration link in the IIS MMC. You will no longer be able to
administer
the Front Page Server Extensions from the IIS MMC. You WILL, however be
able
to administer the FP2002 server extensions from there. When I installed
the
2002 server extensions on my W2K server, the administration directory
wasn't
created, and I had to create it manually from within the IIS FP2002 MMC.
On a Windows 2000 Server there will be no reference anywhere to
Sharepoint.
As such there will be no "Microsoft Sharepoint Administrator".

We know there is no Sharepoint Installed. However, the FP 2002 server

And, they are web based.

Did you in fact look where Ron told you?
