Upgrade from IIS 4.0 to IIS 6.0 Changed FrontPage actions.

[Steve Roberts]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I don't see a
Frontpage.General so I'll give it a try.

Our intranet server (NT 4.0 + IIS 4.0)died a while ago and we decided
it was tiem to upgrade it. We built the new server with Windows Server
2003 + IIS 6.0 with all the latest updates. We kept the Server name and
the IP address the same as the old server. We copied the contents of
the old web to the wwwroot folder and everything came up ok.


The only complaint I am getting from the group that updates the
intranet pages, is they are being asked to 'save as' once they make
their updates. I guess they use IE to browse to the page they want to
edit then they click the FrontPage 2003 button to edit it. Once they are
finished editing the page, they click the save button in Frontpage and
it asks them to 'Save As' instead of just saving it. If they open the
web directly from frontpage it works fine.


Any ideas why this changed and how to fix it or make it just perform a save?


Thanks


Steve

They should not be editing their pages outside of a FP web
- they should always open the web in FP before opening a page to edit

Stefan,

Is this just accepted practice or have there been changes to IIS 6.0 that
caused the new behavior?
I need some arguments to use on my users if I need to change the way they
have been doing things.

Thanks

Always been that way
Any time you open a page within a FP web outside of the FP web, the FP web meta data is not updated and the site can (an usually
does) get corrupted
