Setting up Netmeeting Server |
|
|
Hello there,
I am wanting to setup a Server so that netmeeting users can connect and
have an easy way to connect to one another. Now I found out about ILS
and I don't think it's what I need for because it requires Active
Directory. This doesn't work for 2 reasons:
1) My external domain does not use Active Directory
2) As soon as something requires Active Directory, client licences are
required.
So I am looking for a cheaper solution. I ran accross OpenLDAP
(www.openldap.org), but it is only for Linux. Does anyone know of a
cheaper ldap solution for Windows? If so, is there any install/setup guides?

What makes you think it requires AD?

I think you should look again -- ILS is shipped free as part of all Win2000
servers and does not require AD.
Win2003 server do not have ILS support in any form.

Brian,
On the Windows 2000 Documentation I found the requirements for ILS Site
server.
"Before you perform this procedure, the server must belong to a Windows
2000 domain, and it must be running the IIS Admin Service. To check or
start IIS Admin Service, see To start, stop, pause, resume, or restart a
service If IIS Admin Service is not listed in the installed services,
then see Install IIS"
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/datacenter/help/default.asp?url=/windows2000/en/datacenter/help/sag_TAPIconcepts_150.htm
I actually installed ILS on my "outside" Server box. I used "ilscfg
/listpub" and it said that there were no published servers. However, if
netmeeting requires LDAP, then it only makes sense that AD is required,
as that would be what it would use in the backend. However, if I could
make ILS use a different ldap server/service that would work now.

ILS provides its own LDAP service - AD is not required ( and in fact its
LDAP server can conflict with AD).

If you have installed ILS on the Win2000 server in question it may already
be running.
By default it runs as an LDAP service on tcp 1002.

Brian,
You were right, it was running on my machine. "ilscfg /listpub" doesn't
list it but if I do a "netstat -n -a" it's listning on port 1002 and
works like a charm.
Thanks a bunch!!
