Overview of FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 Administration
FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 can be administered in two ways: by using the HTML Administration
pages
(Server Administration and Site Administration pages) and by using
operations on the command line.
Server Administration
Use the Server Administration page to administer FrontPage Server Extensions 2002
for your entire server
computer. To view the Server Administration page,
you must be a member of the local administrators group
on the server computer.
You can use the Server Administration page to do the following:
- View the list of virtual servers on a Web server.
- Extend, upgrade, or uninstall FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 on a virtual server.
- Enable or disable server settings, such as requiring Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) for authoring and
administration.
- Specify which user rights are available.
- Specify policies for all Web sites on the server.
- Reset passwords for users.
Site Administration page
Use the Site Administration page to change settings for a particular Web site or
to manage user permissions or subwebs.
To open the Site Administration page, on
the Server Administration page, click the virtual server you
want to administer. The Site Administration page is available to
administrators of a Web site or of the server computer itself.
Command-line administration
Most tasks that you can perform from the Server Administration or
Site
Administration pages can also be performed from the command line for FrontPage Server Extensions 2002.
In addition, there are several properties you can set from the command line that
you cannot set from the administration pages. For more information about using
the command line administration tools and setting configuration properties, see
the SharePoint Team Services Administrator's Guide.
