In Exchange 2000/2003, how can I configure web access to some of the newsgroups that are hosted on the server?
If you’re running a newsgroup feed from a live NNTP server (see Configure a Newsgroup Feed From a NNTP Server), or if you’re running your own newsgroup hierarchy, you might want to configure alternate access to these folders by use of a web browser.
Note: I used the MCT private newsgroups demonstrated in the Configure a Newsgroup Feed From a NNTP Server page, but as stated before, you won’t be able to use the same folders because these groups are password restricted. Use your own folders, the ones you’ve downloaded from your ISP News server.
Now you can see the new Virtual Directory in the listing. If you try to browse it you’ll get an error. This is ok because it can take a few moments until the AD2MB (Active Directory to Metabase) service synchronizes the E2K settings to the IIS Metabase.
Wait a few moments and try again. You will be then be able to access the newsgroup hierarchy by using a web browser.
