Hello:

I have a LARGE (300Gb+) web site we use for an Extranet.  Most of the documents are served up via 'web folders' or WebDav through either the IE only click on link, or more recently by "adding a network place" or mapping a network drive. The folders are setup as WebDAV in IIS, and users connect, upload, download, rename folders, move documents, etc. by just 'dragging and dropping' as they would any other Explorer window.

The owners never funded Sharepoint - this is just raw IIS.

How easy or hard is it to support this type of functionality in DNN?

I wouldn't mind adding all of the documents to a standard interface, but Im' NOT going to add each document one by one - there are hundreds of thousands of them.  I would like to have them exposed to searching capabilities and other content management tools.

Question: Does DNN have some way to 'import' a large directory of content?

All users are created in ActiveDirectory, and log in with those credentials (400+ users). I don't want to recreate those users in DNN of course.

I've read up a little on AD authentication and it looks like that can work with DNN.

I just need to import the directories into it.

Thank you,

== John ==

Suggest to take a look at Document Exchange module. This module has a utility to import files by folder.

A cool feature about the module is ability to do keyword search of files after file import. The module provides Window Explorer like interface. Your users will get familiar with it in no time.
