IIS Virtual Directory Access Question... - 1/17/2007 11:11:29   
I have a question, not sure if this can be done. Here is what I plan on doing. I am using a windows 2003 server, with iis 6. I am going to be loading SharePoint 2007 on here to use as a CMS. So, I will have most of the subwebs of a domain using this CMS, but I will have several that will not be using the CMS. So I was thinking in IIS under that web, create a virtual directory for the ones that will not be using the CMS (this way all the sites are under the same domain). The question is, how can people access these webs (the virtual directories created not using the CMS) to edit them? Note: FrontPage Server Extensions doesnt work with SharePoint 2007, so I cannot install this on the server. So how would one edit the webpages without FrontPage Server Extensions? Any ideas?

Have you checked out maybe a product for CMS like Content Seed? The users would need to use Sharepoint to access your site

SharePoint 2007 (MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0) is the CMS we are goign to use. it integrates into our system perfectly using AD accounts, etc.

Let me explain the situation better here. I work for a university. We have a main site (http://www.test.ca), and below this we have 90 subwebs. We have 40 Faculty subwebs, and 50 departmental subwebs. Now I use Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6, FrontPage Server Extensions to administor all of this right now.

Now, we want to switch over to use a CMS. The CMS we have selected is SharePoint 2007 because it can be under our site license, and can provide the portal technology we want as well.

So all of these subwebs are obviously under the same IP (lets say 1.1.1.1 - which points to http://www.test.ca). The way our site is designed, is that we will have:

- 40 faculty (Will not use CMS)
- 50 departmental (Will use CMS)

The 40 faculty who will not be using the CMS, use FrontPage, and I want to keep it like that. BUT, you cannot install FrontPage Server Extensions on the same server as SharePoint 2007. So obviously this is going to be an issue. We want these subwebs to point to the same domain... I am unsure of what to do...

Anyone with any advice on this????

(Here is somethign I thought of, but I am not sure if it will work:

Create 1st Web Server - IP - 1.1.1.1 - install sharepoint on here for the 50 departments to use the CMS
Create 2nd Web Server - IP - 2.2.2.2 - install server extensions on here for the 40 faculty to use FrontPage

Point 1.1.1.1 to www.test.ca and 2.2.2.2 to www.test.ca as well in the DNS. Not sure if this cane be done... )

You can almost do that but you cannot point the A record to two different IPs..

You *could* use subdomains as in www2.test.ca or perhaps you could put all the 2.2.2.2 stuff in an iFrame on page(s) in 1.1.1.1. Or maybe even a redirect or masking scheme.

Just a thought.
