How to get FrontPage 2003 Reporting / Usage Analysis working under IIS 6.0
on a 2003 Server with FrontPage 2002 Extensions installed is a question I
see a lot of in the Search engines.

To get FrontPage Reporting / Usage Analysis working under 2003 Server w/
FrontPage Extensions and IIS 6.0 installed there seems to be three things to
know.

1)… The Usage Analysis is “designed” not to work in - Office XP Web
Services (Microsoft’s Words!) - I think they must mean FPSE under IIS 6.0 ?

2)… To Work around this “designed” behavior you can create a scheduled
task from the Task Scheduler using the owsadm.exe command from the
…..extensions\50\bin folder.

Such as:

cd /d “%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\50\bin”
owsadm.exe -o usage -p lm/w3svc/1
owsadm.exe -o usage -p lm/w3svc/2
owsadm.exe -o usage -p lm/w3svc/3

Where /1 /2 and /3 above are the numbers of your Websites that you’d like
the IIS 6.0 usage analysis / reporting on.

3)… Here’s the article on how to get your FrontPage Usage Analysis and
Reporting in IIS6.0

Boy, I sure wish I’d known that a year or so ago!
