Verifying the Tests

Because Phone Book Administrator creates a .cab file and posts it to the Phone Book Service, one way to verify that the post was successful is to see that the database and .cab file are on the server.

Note

To verify that Connection Point Services has full functionality, you will need to use Connection Manager to verify that the new phone book downloads. For information on how to configure Connection Manager by building the needed test profile, see the Connection Manager Administration Kit documentation .

To verify that the database and .cab file were posted successfully

1. Log on to the computer running Phone Book Service as a Windows NT administrator.
   
   
2. Click Start, click Programs, and then click Windows NT Explorer.
   
   
3. View the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Phone Book Service\Data folder. A new folder called ByteComp should be there, containing a file called 1Full.cab.
   
   
4. View the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Phone Book Service\Data\Database folder. It should contain the files Newpb.mdb and Newpb.txt.

To verify that the Phone Book Service can transmit the phone book.

1. Start Internet Explorer.
   
   
2. Click Address, and then type
   http:///PBServer/PBServer.dll?OSArch=0&OSType=2&LCID=1033&OSVer=4.0.1381&CMVer=6.0.10.0&PBVer=0&PB=ByteComp.

   If the Phone Book Service is working with Internet Information Services properly, it will send the contents of the ByteComp.cab file to your computer, and Internet Explorer will prompt you for whether you want to open it or save it to your computer.

3. Click Open. If the Phone Book Service is working with your phone book properly, the contents of this file appear. If Phone Book Service is not working, an error message appears.
