Title: Automate SME Server
Post by: claytonbench on May 11, 2004, 05:58:43 PM

I am looking to integrate such things as: Group creation, user account creation, virtual domain management, and ibay management into a streamlined interface thats easier for my staff to cope with. I want to when a customer calls: create a group for their company  create the person calling a user account and make them a member of their company group. if they decide they want web hosting I would like to be able to use a simple interface to pick the options for the ibay and virutal  domain so the operator doesnt have to really know any of this except fill in the form. Well I hhope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Wow! Those look great. What would be the best programming language to create a user interface to those tools whether it be text or DOS looking interface (if I must) Prefferably which to make a GUI.

For the server manager in SME they use perl which is easy to learn (If so incliened) and works very well. )Plus you can take any of the already created server manager pages and change them to fit what you need.
