Hmm....i would love to be able to create one virtual directory, but how would i slap the ~ in front of all the dirs to keep everything looking the same?

we have moss 2007 setup as well, but not really interested in templated sites at all(mysites). I suppose I can write a vbs to create iis virtual directories, as well as a public_html directory in all the users home drives, but would much rather like something using variable names. What i need to accomplish, if i am going to use iis, is to make the transition seemless....so for those who made hard links to http://www.school.edu/~username it will stay the same in IIS. I also need to retain the ftp functionality, but that should be easy once I figure out whether I am going to do a new share or use current home folders.

Yea, I was looking at that...was hoping there would be a way to do one virtual directory with a relative path (.../home/~/public_html)

I am looking to replace Apache with IIS. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience creating user home pages in IIS, similar to how Apache has its virtual directories....(http://domain.com/~username)....?

Sorry, I am new here. Unsure where to put this post, basically I am going to copy and paste the email I sent to microsoft and add in my powershell script. I am hoping maybe someone has come across this same issue and knows how to resolve it. Here is what I want to do: I would like to be able to control mail calendar delegation through a mail-enabled active directory distribution group. I set the proper permissions through powershell that I had for the users which were working fine. So basically on my rooms I now have a distribution group listed as the delegate. I added the members to the delegate dist group. They receive the requests for approval of meetings, but cannot accept, telling them no permission to open. If I add a user directly as a delegate using the same command, they can accept. Also, when using the dist group they can not open the room calendar, just like the error said. So, I granted the group full access on the box. Same results. I added the user to full access then they could open. I would prefer to do the delegation through active directory, makes things more organized, one location to look in. Is there a way I can grant permissions like owner or editor to the group on the calendar through powershell? I am thinking this might resolve my problem. Or am I going about this the entirely wrong way? I attached the scripts I wrote, they are kind of messy as I was playing around trying to get this to work. Any assistance would be great!
