NT26 question

[jmbeach]

Hey Guys (and gals):

I got the update regarding NT26, that's great to hear 2003 and CF MX are coming online.

I'm curious how HSphere will handle this server when a new Windows user is added. Will it add a user to either NT26 or one of the earlier Win2000 machines, or will we have to specify in our plans to use the 2003 server?

I'm curious because if we want a user specifically to have MX support, we wouldn't want them to accidentally be added to NT25 or below.

Thanks!

What we will do is try and get 2 to 4 new 2003 servers online this month. We will use the 2003 boxes and keep them coming as needed. We would only go back and turn a 2000 box on if we got to full to fast.. But the 2000 boxs should staff off unless the start to lose customers on them, then we would turn them back on to even things out.

Are there any ways to ensure that new domains are assigned to win 2003 if those featured are needed?

This is very good news, by the way - I was about to go searching for a win 2003 host.

Thanks for that info Brad.

Just to clarify: If a Win2000 was turned back on, there would a chance (albeit a small one) that a new signup would not have CF MX support, correct?

So, if MX is a must, we should watch those signups to be sure they're on a 2003 server.

jmbeach: Good point -> kinda makes it hard to sell doesn't it.... unless your 100% sure its the right box.

[jmbeach]

well, once they totally pull the Win2000 boxes out of the HSphere loop, it won't really be an issue, unless if they temporarily add one back in from time to time.

But I'm thinking that just maybe there's a way to assure this won't happen. Wishful thinking? Perhaps

From that do I take it there is a way to control which server a new account goes onto?

Thanks

NT26 is online now.. Since this is our FIRST windows 2003 box in H-Sphere there may be a few very little issues, but Psoft has said it should all work just fine.. So if you see an issue please submit a ticket. I also need some one to let me know if cfmx works ok on this system if all that works then I will get the next win2k3 box installed today and got 5 more on the way..

Thanks admin! Thats great news. We will test and let you know what we find. :-D

First test - CFMX found..

See http://www.eatsleepbreathe.com/test.cfm

We would like to use flash remoting and the gateway is not present.. there is a tech note on Macromedia.com as to why its not automatically configured with virtual sites on a multihomed server http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...connection.htm

Can we get it setup on eatsleepbreathe.com to test?

Thanks,

Am I correct in assuming there is no support for CDONTS? Does anyone have any good resources for converting CDONTS to CDOSYS?

afaik IIS6 doesn't have CDONTS installed (though it probably can be installed).


For CDOSYS I use the following snippet as a starting point for my code usually.

Set iConf = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration")
Set Flds = iConf.Fields 
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 2 'cdoSendUsingPort
Flds("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = strMailServer
Flds.Update
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set objNewMail.Configuration = iConf
objNewMail.To = strRecipients
objNewMail.From = strSender
objNewMail.Subject = strSubject
objNewMail.TextBody = strMessage
objNewMail.Send

Refer MSDN for full CDOSYS info is probably the best place to go.

Dim objCDO
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
body = "Hello " & textfield4 & (" ") & textfield5 & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
body = body & "Welcome to " & websitename & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
body = body & "Your username is: " & textfield & vbCrLf
body = body & "Your password is: " & textfield2 & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
body = body & "Your activation number is: " & p_id & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
body = body & "You have 24 hours to activate your account or your registration will be removed. Please use the link below to activate your account. " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
body = body & weburl & "activate.asp?activate=" & p_id & vbCrLf

objCDO.To = textfield6
objCDO.From = websitename & " < " & webemail & (" >")
objCDO.Subject = welcomesubject
objCDO.Body = body
objCDO.Send()
Set objCDO = Nothing

my CDONTS... I'm going to need to do some research... ASP email or jmail any better?

All the email components are much the same imo, half the time I just use whatever I feel like on the day.

I am glad CFMX is at least working.

As for flash remoting and the gateway I have never used ether one. Installing them seems really simple. Is this something you have to add on to CF or does it come with it.. Sorry I have just never got in to CF much..
