I'm doing some research for our dev team - we were told by one developer that Umbraco has to basically control all aspects of a website. You can't just tell Umbraco to "manage" specific directories of a URL.
Because of this (we have certain directories that we don't want Umbraco to have to manage) we'd have to move a lot of our content to subdomains in order to use Umbraco.
I'm hoping this isn't true. If not, can someone point me in a direction that I can show our development team this isn't true.

Hi Rex Umbraco _does_ need to be installed in the root of the website. However, you _can_ tell it to not handle certain paths of the website. Say you have your website example.com and you want some legacy static content to run in example.com/mylegacyfolder you would simply add that folder to the web.config in this area: <add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="/umbraco/,/install/,/mylegacyfolder/" /> Hope this helps?

Thanks for the reply...
What if one of the "directories" you don't want it to manage is the root itself?
We have a website that we want to manage ourselves, but we need a CMS to manage a specific directory where we want to publish content to.

Is it also an asp.net website?

Yes it is, although there are some ASP, as well (the site is being converted over time from ASP to ASP.net)

Then I don't think it will be easy. Umbraco needs the default.aspx file in the root of the website to run, and it does not support being run in a virtual directory such as example.com/cmspart You would probably also run in to trouble when you need to share the web.config file between the two applications.
