Missing ConnectToConfigurationStorageServer - 23.Dec.2007 2:24:14 PM

Hi,
I'm working with "Windows Server 2003"
and the 180 day trial of "ISA Server 2006 Enterprise".

Until now there was no "Configuration Server".
In my C# program I have referenced msfpccom.dll and used
GetContainingArray() on an instance of the FPC Class.

Now there is an "Configuration Server" in the system and that works no longer.
I have read some tutorials and found ConnectToConfigurationStorageServer.
But there is no such method in this class.

Is that a limitation of the trial edition?
How can I connect to a configuration storage sever in the trial?
Or do I have to get the full version?

I too am having the same problem, but I have a licensed version so I don't think it's a trial version issue. The samples in the SDK show a method at the root object named ConnectToConfigurationStorageServer, although there is no such method. Any luck?

At the installation one has to choose the type of the ISA Server.
Depending on the installation option there is a different dll I guess.
With
fpc.Array.Item(1)
// Index starts with 1, to input the name of the server is also possible

I could connect to the Server.

My problem was actually that ApplyChanges did not work.
It always raised an error with an error number.
Finally I have found the description of the error number.
Something like "ApplyChanges is no longer used. etc"
Now an IsaRule has a Save() method and I just use that instead.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it does, thank!

So the code I've written works on ISA 2006, but when I try to connect remotely to an ISA 2004 instance, the code blows up with some vague error - FPC.Root.1: An operation error occurred in vbscript or COMExecption HRESULT: 0x80072020 in C#. If I run the code locally on the ISA 2004 server, it works just fine.

I'd imagine it's the same issue you mentioned earlier - different dll. I was under the impression they were compatible. Have you had an experience with ISA 2004?

How do you try to connect to that server?
My method only works local.

And on which code line occurs the error?

The exact error would be helpful.
And as I said I am just working locally.

Oh sorry, the error was in previous post.

VBScript: FPC.Root.1: An operation error occurred in vbscript
C#: COMExecption HRESULT: 0x80072020

Thanks!
