You're in the
iis smtp nntp
group:Enabling incoming news feed for NNTP server
iis smtp nntp:
own locally created groups as well as all the regular internet newsgroups except for the alt.binaries feeds. We currently get the news groups from the University of Oregon. We want to move the service to a Windows box using the IIS NNTP server. I've done some initial investigation but I cannot find a way to have the NNTP service pull the news groups from an external source like we can with our FreeBSD set up. Is this even possible with the IIS NNTP service?
Long ago, I did a test with MS engineer. IIS 6.0 NNTP does support this.

I've made some progress, but have hit another roadblock. The next step in
the process to move from our FreeBSD NNTP server to a Windows NNTP server is to initiate a feed from the FreeBDS NNTP server to the new server in order to populate all the local groups. We've set up our unix server to allow feeds, and I've added a pull feed to the IIS server using the rfeed.vbs command. The first part of the process appears to have worked. All newsgroups have been created on the windows box, including our local ones. However, no articles have been transferred. In the event log I keep getting the message: "The virtual server 1 has completed an active feed from/to news.acadiau.ca. Status is FAILURE." I've done many google searches trying to find out what the cause of this error is, but all I've managed to find is other people asking the same question with no answer. I can't find anything at Microsoft either. Does anyone know what this error means?

No idea. when you configure rfeed.vbs, it said succesfully applied or
configured? what about the status code in the nntp log file? This is going to be tough, as you are the second guy I know that trying to set this up :) -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://www.iiswebcastseries.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Paul Steele" <paul.steele@acadiau.ca> wrote in message news:ez19W6nTGHA.4956@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > I've made some progress, but have hit another roadblock.

Yupe, looks like the remote server disabled the NEWNEWS command.
Hence, your nntp unable to obtain list of new articles... and no news postings pull from the server. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://www.iiswebcastseries.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "Paul Steele" <paul.steele@acadiau.ca> wrote in message news:uVO9Lb0TGHA.4792@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > rfeed said the feed was successfully added, and there was an entry in the > event log that confirmed this.
