Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

When you upgrade a Web server that has FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, the upgrade process automatically installs FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions. After upgrade, both FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions and FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions are installed. After upgrade, you must upgrade each of the FrontPage extended Web sites and configure IIS 6.0 so that FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions is prohibited.

Upgrade your FrontPage extended Web sites by completing the following steps:

  1. Set the status of the FrontPage Server Extensions 2000 entry in the Web service extensions list to Prohibited.

    For more information about configuring Web service extensions, see Configure Web Service Extensions.

  2. For each FrontPage extended Web site, upgrade the Web site to FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions.

    You can upgrade individual Web sites by using the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions Server Administration Web page. You can also upgrade individual sites, or multiple sites in a batch, by using Owsadm.exe.
