I'm interning this summer for a K12 project in South Dakota. I was faced with the task of creating many FrontPage based webs for teachers on our system (as many as 10000 of them).
While meditating before my workstation, a sense of enlightenment filled my when I found Microsoft documentation on fpsrvadm.exe, a command line utility to create and manage webs with IIS.
It dawned on me that I could use this to automate the daunting task before me. Minutes later, I have a Perl script that reads from a file full of user names and creates a web for each one. It also manages the user and group permissions for each web and reports any errors.
Thank you Perl.
