11 Jul 10 Indexing Service

 

Indexing Service (formerly known as Index Server) is integrated with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) and the Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system to allow web searching on corporate intranets and Internet sites.

Once enabled, it automatically builds an index of your website that can be easily searched from any web browser with the sample query forms. Indexing maps words to documents, and to locations within documents.

The same way that an index in a book maps an important word to a page inside the book, content indexing on a computer takes a word within a document and maps it back to that document.

This feature is currently not supported on Gossimer web servers.

30 Jun 10 Collaboration Data Objects for Windows NT Server (CDONTS)

 

Collaboration Data Objects for Windows NT Server (CDONTS) component is a very old component shipped mainly with Windows 2000 server. Like Collaboration Data Objects (CDO), this too can be used to accept feedback from visitors via an online form which on submission would send you an Email about the information filled in by the visitor.

IMPORTANT 

Now with the arrival of Windows 2003 this component has been deprecated. Gossimer suggests that you upgrade your scripts to CDO.

 

 

You may use the sample script provided by Gossimer, and customise it to your needs. You would need to change the From Email address in the field objMail.From to any Email address on the same domain name where you are incorporating this script. For example, if your Domain Name is abc.com, then you may define the From Email address as some-name@abc.com. This Email address need not be existing on the Mail Server of abc.com, however, the domain name in the objMail.From has to be yours. You may use an Email address like Do_Not_reply@abc.com.

The Email address in the objMail.To field needs to be changed to your Email address, where you wish to receive Emails submitted through the form.

Sample Script 

 

<%

Set objMail = Server.CreateObject(“CDONTS.NewMail”)
objMail.From = “some-name@abc.com”
objMail.Subject = “Testing Mail”
objMail.To = “user@abc.com”
objMail.Body = “Testing ….”

objMail.Send
Response.Write “Mail Sent …..”
Set objMail = nothing
%>
