Hello!

Does FrontPage Extensions in IIS7 are supported by DNP?

Thanks 

MS has released RTM version of FPSE 2002 for Windows 2008/Vista:

does DNP will support FrontPage under Windows2008/IIS7 provider? 

I am interested in finding out if this is supported as well.

 Thanks!

 DNP team?

I also was wondering about this? Are there current plans on implementing this? We have quite a few clients who "still" use FPSE (tough habit to break them out of)....

 I was also looking for this.

 Does this mean that DNP IIS7 doesn't support Frontpage Extensions and if not are there any workarounds and/or will this be implemented in future releases?

Hi,

Has anyone any update on this?

three months .. no response

 We looked at using DNP because of it's headline ads of IIS 7 support.

 Problem was in testing the missing Frontpage support wasn't the only thing missing, there seems to be allot missing to DNP's IIS 7 module and quite a few of the things that are there are quite buggy.

 Seems that the IIS 7 module may have been put togther rather quickly without proper testing to get the IIS 7 support headlines for DNP's ads as the module still needs ALLOT of work.

There was another thread where someone did respond regarding this. You can have FrontPage Extensions in IIS7 through a third-party add-on provided by Microsoft but DNP has no support for it so you can't managed FPSE using DNP.

 With regard to Windows 2008 \ IIS7 support, it was pretty solid initially but performance took a significant hit in the 2.4.1 release. I create sites and have to wait several minutes for them to successfully be created on the IIS 7 web server. (They happen very quickly on any of my IIS 6 boxes.) I am hoping a 2.4.2 release of DNP will fix this issue.

 I'm not so sure about performance hit. I'm using DNP and IIS7 and creating a new page takes just about .. lets say 10-15 seconds.

Are you referring to creating a whole new site? On my Windows 2008 box when I went from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 I saw a very significant increase in the time it takes to create sites on just the IIS7-based box. No other configurations were changed on that box.

Hi,

Will Frontpage extensions be supported with DNP on a Windows 2008 server?

Dear customers,

We are working hard on it and hopefully by the end of July FPSE 2002 @ IIS 7.0 provisioning feature will be released.

Thanks.

 I would not recommend it
MS discontinued  it.
