Chapter 24. Putting It All Together: Your First Administrative Web Pages

IN THIS CHAPTER

It's time to take everything you've learned and create a complete, administrative Web page from scratch. The two step-by-step examples in this chapter will include the design process, as well as some cool ADSI code that queries domain information.

It's time to take everything you've learned about scripting and Web pages and merge them. In this chapter, I'm going to walk you through two complete examples. The first example will be a simple one: creating a Web page that allows junior administrators to quickly and easily check the status of a user account in a domain. The second example will be a bit more complicated, and will allow an administrator to automatically create new IIS virtual directories. That example will show you how to check a user's identity from within a script-a useful trick in any administrative Web page.

Most importantly, these examples will walk you through the complete Web page design process, so that you'll feel more comfortable embarking on your own projects in the future.
