SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC: IP list allowed to relay on IIS 2k3

[Russ Patterson]

I have a client who has an Exchange 2003 org behind two IIS servers
that act as the SMTP front-end outbound - in other words, the Exchange
org, and various other servers in their AD, relay across the two IIS
servers - which are Windows server 2003.

It's a fairly large company, and they have a few thousand IPs allowed
to relay. The problem is - over the years, one of the relay servers
has about 1500 IPs, where the other (Sadly) has close to 1900 listed
as allowed to relay.

In Windows 2003, scripting is not very user friendly (at least to me,
whose limit is hacking away at Powershell.) We have found a VB script
that appears to copy out the IP addresses, and has allowed us to get
the IPs from each server and compare them in Excel spreadsheets.

My issue is - using the same script to import the results of merging
those IP addresses back into IIS sort of appears to work; but no IPs
ever show up in the GUI. - If you use the script t pull the IPs out,
you see a list of IPs, but the GUI (IIS / SMTP/ Relay button) shows as
blank. I need the list to show to satisfy my client. What am I doing
wrong? Note - we tried a reboot, iisreset, etc.

is a link to the script we're trying to use. Any suggestions greatly
appreciated!

I _think_ this worked on IIS SMTP. But that was a long long time ago now...

If that doesn't work, using the metabase explorer is going to be the way to do 
it...
