Default Newsgroups Installed with NNTP Server

ID: Q230110

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

The following newsgroups are automatically installed with the NNTP server:

Control.cancel
Control.newgroup
Control.rmgroup
Microsoft.public.ins

The Microsoft.public.ins newsgroup is a sample newsgroup that contains a welcome message. It can be used to immediately test if messages can successfully be posted and read on the NNTP Server. You can delete this newsgroup if you want.

The control.* newsgroups work in conjunction with the control messages generated by NNTP client software, NNTP utilities, and NNTP servers. Deleting these newsgroups will interfere with the proper operation of these control messages.

MORE INFORMATION

For more information about control messages, see the "Processing Control Messages" topic in the online product documentation, at http://localhost/iishelp/news/noc05%5F14.htm.
