Installing the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions root by using XML

The InstallServerExtensionsRoot procedure of the Managed IIS namespace calls the same procedure in the FrontPage Provider namespace. This procedure installs SharePoint Team Services or FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft on the specified port of a virtual server, using the specified user account name. Before making this call, this procedure checks permissions to ensure that the caller is a member of the appropriate user's group.

Important

• The FrontPage security model does not support checking group membership for the appropriate permissions. For this reason, all procedures of the FrontPage Provider namespace have an access type of Private. You should not call these procedures directly. If you want to provide security for any of these procedures, you must perform the appropriate security checking before calling the FrontPage procedures.

Important

• Although Active Directory is not case-sensitive for elements such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path, XML is case-sensitive. To ensure that the procedure executes appropriately, specify all tags, elements, and data using uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as shown in the XML examples. For additional guidelines on how to use XML, see the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).
