Installing the Role Administrator Sample Application

Before you install the Role Administrator sample application, be sure you have the following software installed on your computer:

• Microsoft® Windows NT® Server, running on an Intel computer.
• Microsoft® Internet Information Server (IIS) version 3 or version 4.
• Active Server Pages You can choose to install Active Server Pages when you install Windows NT Server version 4, Service Pack 3.
• ADSI 2.0 For information on obtaining ADSI as a free download, see http://www.microsoft.com/adsi. ADSI will also be made available in the CD-ROM set of the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN™).

Installation of the Role Administrator sample application has two parts, as described in the following procedures. First, install the Role Administrator sample itself, and then set up a virtual directory, which requires different steps depending on your version of IIS.

Note  The Role Administrator sample application, which is Web-based, is designed to be used with Microsoft® Internet Explorer. Other browsers may exhibit inconsistent behavior.
