- Microsoft Personalization System

SUMMARY
=======

The following are known issues in using Site Server 2.0 with Internet
Information Server version 4.0 (IIS).

NOTE: Each of these issues may occur if you install Microsoft Site Server 2.0 on
the Microsoft Internet Information Server. The issues regarding the Microsoft
Content Replication System WebAdmin Interface and Microsoft Personalization
Server are specific to installations in which IIS is installed over an existing
Site Server 2.0 installation.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Installing Internet Locator Service
-----------------------------------

To install the Internet Locator Service on the same server as the Windows NT
Option Pack 4.0, you must first stop the IISADMIN service. Perform the following
steps to install the Locator Service:

1. From Control Panel, double-click Services.

2. Select IIS Administrator Service, and click Stop.

3. Install Internet Locator Service.

4. Start the IIS Administrator Service through Control Panel.

NOTE: If these steps are not followed, the following error message may appear:

  Error: Unable to start Internet Locator Service. Use the Event Viewer
  to determine the reason for the failure.

Installing Commerce Server 2.0
------------------------------

Before installing Commerce Server 2.0, you must first ensure that you have ADO
1.0 installed on the server. If you installed the Windows NT Option Pack 4.0
over an existing Internet Information Server 3.0 installation, ADO 1.0 is
already installed. If you did not have IIS 3.0 installed, you can obtain ADO 1.0
from the OLE DB SDK or from the Microsoft Web site at:

  http://www.microsoft.com/ado

Choose the Custom installation option when installing Commerce Server 2.0, and
install one starter store at a time. The starter stores that ship with Commerce
Server 2.0 are Clockped, Volcano Coffee (VC), Adventure Works (AW), and
Microsoft Press.

NOTE: You can install all the required components, SDK, documentation, Store
Foundation and Store Builder wizards, and one starter store in one step, and
then install the remaining starter stores one at a time by running the custom
installation repeatedly.

Using Content Replication System Web Administrator Interface
------------------------------------------------------------

The Content Replication System 2.0 Web Administrator dialog boxes are sized
incorrectly when viewed with Internet Explorer 4.0. The OK, Cancel, and Help
buttons are not visible, and the dialog box window is not resizable.

The only way to click the buttons is to use the TAB key, which then scrolls the
buttons into view.

Using Personalization Server
----------------------------

To use the Personalization Server with IIS 4.0 and use Anonymous Authentication,
you must disable automatic password synchronization.

For more information about how to disable automatic password synchronization in
IIS, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
