Life after FPSE (Part 3)
In continuation from on my blog posts on April 17th and April 23rd, today's blog post will continue to examine moving from the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) to WebDAV, and today I'm going to address a combination of issues that I've run into and questions that I've received from customers.

Life after FPSE (Part 2)
Following up on my last blog post, today's blog post will discuss some of the highlights and pitfalls that I have seen while transitioning from using the FrontPage Server Extensions to publish web sites to WebDAV. It should be noted, of course, that FTP still works everywhere - e.g. Expression Web, FrontPage, Visual Studio, etc. As the Program Manager for both WebDAV and FTP in IIS I can honestly say that I love both technologies, but I'm understandably biased. <grin> That said, I'm quite partial to publishing over HTTP whenever possible, and Windows makes it easy to do because Windows ships with a built-in WebDAV redirector that enables you to map a drive to a web site that is using WebDAV.

Life after FPSE (Part 1)
Today's blog post will be the first in a series of blog posts that I intend to write about my experiences with putting together a Windows Server 2008 machine without using the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) for any web publishing. The main goal of this series is to describe some of the highlights and pitfalls that I have run into while transitioning away from FPSE.

FREB: LOG_FILE_MAX_SIZE_TRUNCATE
OK - I have to admit that one of my favorite features for IIS 7 is "Failed Request Tracing", otherwise known as "FREB". I've taught breakout sessions about FREB at Microsoft TechEd, and IT administrators love it. (By the way - FREB was originally called "Failed Request Event Buffering", in case you're wondering why the acronym doesn't match. ;-] )

Enabling WebDAV on IIS 6
I had a great question from someone the other day about enabling WebDAV on IIS 6, so I wrote a simple Windows Script Host (WSH) utility that does the trick. Because I'm a firm believer that writing code for one person will ultimately benefit someone else, I'm making that script the subject of today's blog post. ;-)

WebDAV Redirector Registry Settings
Following up on the release of the WebDAV module for IIS 7, I've been experimenting with the WebDAV redirector that comes with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. This redirector ships as an updated WebClient service, and if you're using Windows Vista it should already be installed, but on Windows Server 2008 you will need to install the "Desktop Experience" feature. Once installed, you can map drives to WebDAV shares much like mapping
