Admins & Extensions Incompatible

[Matthew]

Error: The server administration programs and the server
extensions on the web server are not compatible. The
administration program is too old to use with this server.

MyServer runs Windows 2000 Server (FAT), FrontPage 2002,
IIS, and FPSE. The web is functional except that it
fails when posting form data.

1. Where can I find useful troubleshooting tests to
resolve the form data posting issue?

2. Where can I find an administration program that is
not too old?

3. Do I need to know anything special about installing
it?

Love & Lost Packets,

Matthew

I would try reinstalling the lastest version of the server
extensions. They, use the admin web pages. (There are no
windows-forms-based admin tools anymore.)

However, I would also get your server off of FAT. Using
FAT is extremely unusual anymore, but especially on a Web
server, because the lack of file-system security leaves
your server open to all kinds of outside attacks.
