Com/asp/ldap maybe?

2003-11-14 Thread Ryan Mitchell
Hello

I have the following line in an asp script:
GetObject(IIS://  Application(Server)  /W3SVC)

To connect to iis to get some details from it.
Is there any way of doing the same in coldfusion? Would prefer to do it
natively as opposed to cfhttping an asp script.

Ryan

I don't think you can do it without going through COM or some executable.

I use mdutil.exe (Option pack or Support Tools) called with cfexecute
myself. Using a command line tool from CF can be a bit hackish, but it
allows for a uniform codebase when I am logged in through OpenSSH and
I only have a command line.
Syntax will be something like: mdutil enum W3CSVC/1/ and you can drill
down from there.

You can't easily use ADSI (which is what this is) directly from CF - even
with CF 5. What I've done before is to write COM wrappers for ADSI
functionality in Windows Script Components, and called those. If you're
using CFMX, you might find better solutions by searching for ADSI and Java.

Aaah java, should have thought of that!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)
