Currently if somethings not working or something has gone wrong, (ie DNS not added), the domain name has to be deleted and re-added.  The joy of using Helm is they is a repair tool to rebuild the functions.

 this is one of the biggest features DNP is missing!!

Imagine one of your web servers crashed and you lost a backup of IIS, then with a restore tool you could select rebuild IIS for server XXX for all domains (or just some).

I am aware that DNP founders are ex helm users so will know fully what i am talking about.

My answer is yet. I have been requesting it since I started using DNP.

Hey Rubal :)  I hope your well, Long time no speak :)  Glad to see you agree with my post! this tool is far over due, why the DNP developers have no released such a tool i dont know.

 DNP Staff can you answer that question?

 thank you to all that have voted.  Feel free to share any comments :)

 Thanks

I will love to see an official DNP comment about this feature.

How hard would this be to do with a powershell script?... uh.

it's possible to interact with .net objects and server resources...

 interesting link.

Hello,

Dear customers thank you for all of your either positive or neutral votes! We are really appreciate all of your encouragements, feature requests and valuable suggestions.

However, let me remind you that the existence of Repair Tool and other features that our product "lack" didn't save WHA/Helm from the acquisition and business sell. Our team highly appreciate the way you do request new features and tools but please think different. Sometimes even a voted feature request might require unexpectedly heavy investments in it and there is always should be positive economic impact to make the business grow instead of degrade.

We do our best in order to deliver new features, tools and fixes as soon as possible but please be patient!

Thank you for your understanding.

P.S. Voted for unsure

I made Rubal words my words

I will add my hat into the mix here. This tool is needed!    I dont know what DNP was talking about saving helm/wha rfom selling.

This tool is simply needed to help EASILY migrate customers settings from one server to another AND to REPAIR (rebuild) services. IE:  Lets say you need to correct iis setttings because you accidently deleted the domain - you can restore that from backup nor does anyone want to recreate from scratch. Also say your main web server crashed and instead of trying to restore from backups and get that one machine running again it is easier to run the repair tool on a fresh space iis box just restoring the configs etc. Then restore the customer data from backups.

 There are so many uses for this tool its should be a no brainer.   I really sometimes dont understand DNP thinking... They are always worried about the cost of something vs the value it provides the users who use DNP.  If this is really some of those things (dnp) then why not let us pay for those features that you think are so expensive. 

There are a few that i would pay some cash for.
