Enabling/disabling SSL via script

I have an situation where I'm trying to copy files via the Windows XP WebDAV
redirector to a Sharepoint server that has SSL enabled. Problem is that the
XP WebDAV redirector does not support SSL. If I temporarily disable SSL on
the site, the file copy works fine. I can then re-enable SSL and all is
well.

My goal is to automate this file copying process so that it happens daily
via a batch file/script, however, I need a way to enable and disable the SSL
options programmatically to make this process completely automated.

Does anyone know of a way to programmatically enable and disable the
"Require SSL" and "Require 128 bit encryption" checkboxes?

Thanks,

Shawn

Re: Enabling/disabling SSL via script

You can use adsutil.vbs and manipulate the AccessSSL and AccessSSL128, etc
metabase keys.

Re: Enabling/disabling SSL via script

Got to looking at things a little more and was able to get SSL
enabled/disabled using the adsutil script running it locally. But I didn't
see an option to run that script on a remote machine.

Is there a way to edit the metabase on a remote machine via ADSUTIL or with
WMI or something like that?

Thanks again,

Shawn
