Contacting Us
We try to reply to e-mail and telephone messages the same day that we receive them, but certainly within a 24-hour time-frame. We are located in Colorado Springs, Colorado (-7GMT).
Please keep in mind that we are a small company. In exchange for your patience, we can keep our prices low and your technical support questions will be handled by a real systems engineer or programmer rather than someone reading a script.
Contacting Us For Support
We have tried hard to make sure most common questions are answered on our website or somewhere in our Documentation and FAQs.
Our most common technical support incidents are related to missing prerequisites, problems related to IIS application pools, or problems related to the service/proxy account.
However, you are always welcome to contact support if you cannot resolve an issue. We find that 95% of all issues are quickly resolved via one or two e-mails. When you contact us, please submit a support request via email first. Here is some helpful information to provide:
Checklist for Technical Support Requests:
- The product you are using and the version (e.g., Directory Manager 3.2).
- Server operating system version (e.g., Windows Server 2022).
- Did the software ever work? If so, what has changed?
- Have you verified that the prerequisites on the product's requirements page have been met?
- Have you applied the most recent Windows/Microsoft critical and recommended updates to your IIS server?
- What other web applications are running on the same IIS server?
- From the IIS server console, open a web browser to
http://localhost/directoryupdate(for example). Are you seeing any errors? - Attach your XML configuration files if applicable.
- Provide a screenshot of any error messages or unexpected behavior.
