CDONTS for Windows 2003 Server

CDONTS on Windows 2003 Server

MS Windows 2000 was supporting CDONTS. MS Windows Server 2003 does not install CDONTS. So, CDONTS based applications do not work on a Windows 2003 Server. Windows Server 2003 provides alternative CDOSYS for it.

To make CDONTS work on a Windows 2003 Server, follow these steps:

1. Download <a href="http://asp-mssql.com/installers/cdonts.zip">CDONTS</a> . Copy it into C:\Windows\system32.

2. Register the CDONTS.DLL component using the command:

Start >> Run >> regsvr32 "C:\system32\cdonts.dll"

3. CDONTS will work, when SMTP under IIS 6.0 is working. So enable it prior to testing with CDOSYS.
