I am relatively new to .NET. I wanted to know if there is a way to configure SMTP in IIS 5.1 from command line. I know there’s a tool called Aapcmd.exe, but since it is only available to
IIS 7 or higher, I cant use it. However i came across some scripts in C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts on my system (which apparently are used for IIS administration)
……but coud’nt use them for SMTP configuration. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

    Thanks Joola… Turns out we can configure SMTP parameters using adsutil.vbs which is usally available at C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts or wherever you ‘Inetpub’ folder is….
    I needed to change following parameters in a default SMTP setup:

     Connection Time Out for SMTP
 Windows Integrated Authentication
 Anonymous Authentication set False.

    You can use adsutil.vbs to change these as mentioned below.

     Cscript adsutil.vbs set /smtpsvc/1/AuthAnonymous false
 Cscript adsutil.vbs set /smtpsvc/1/authntlm true
 Cscript adsutil.vbs set /smtpsvc/1/ConnectionTimeout 1200

    Please note, instead of set one can also use the get option to view the current values…
