could you use IIS integration in VBldPro ?

[briandors]

Hello Visual Build Professional users-

This is sort of an open letter to the community of users. I am a configuration/deployment engineer and love the Kinook product. It has helped me automate most of a very complicated deploy process involving COM+ applications, XML config files, windows services, etc.

One area that is still very manual (or vbscript) for me is configuration of the web sites in IIS, through Internet Services Manager. Because of custom settings we use, there are manual steps I must take (changing custom error pages, creating virtual directories, changing home directories, setting IP addresses for the site to respond on) within IIS at each deploy.

I have emailed Kinook, and as always they were VERY responsive. But I was told that this was probably the first time anyone has requested any IIS integration. That shocked me.

I find it hard to believe that there aren't other users out there that could benefit. If you could use IIS integration, please let Kinook know, either through this thread or through an email to them. Keep it short and cordial, my intention isn't to cause them any grief or "bomb" them with emails.

Kindest regards and thanks for your time.
Brian
