FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft provides Web-based and command-line administration for extending Web sites. Extending a Web site means enabling various FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions features to improve how you manage the content development and security of your site. Extending Web sites with FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions enables the Web site owner to author the s 929r179j ite in the Microsoft FrontPage web site creation and management tool and delegate Web site ownership and administration credentials. After a Web site is extended, a FrontPage client can open the Web site and author it in FrontPage.
Before you can use FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions, you must create one or more Web sites to contain them. An extended Web site, formerly known as a virtual server, is an IIS Web site that receives additional functionality when it is extended by FrontPage Server Extensions. By default, IIS provides a working extended Web site called Default Web Site. This extended Web site points to the content directory systemroot\Inetpub\Wwroot.

Membership in the Administrators group on the local computer.

As a security best practice, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the Run as command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At the command prompt, type runas /user:administrative_accountname "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".
Before extending a site, check to make sure that the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions optional component is installed. In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Windows Components Wizard. If the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions component is not installed, add it by using the following procedure.
