Now type the following command in the command window:start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;WAS-WindowsActivationService; WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-Confi gurationAPI Note

2 Now type the following command in the command window:

start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;WAS-WindowsActivationService;

WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-Confi gurationAPI

Note that the command must be typed as one line and it will scroll in the command

window as needed, as shown in Figure 13.20

3 Press Enter to install IIS 7.0 with the default features The installation can take between

1 and 5 minutes Once it’s complete, you will see a blinking cursor, as shown in

Figure 13.21

4 After you’ve completed the installation, you can test it by going to http://localhost, where you should see the IIS welcome screen that we saw in Figure 13.6

Now that we know how to use the pkgmgr.exe command, let’s put it in practice with an

unattended XML fi le using Longhorn Server

Unattended Installation

As we mentioned earlier, you can do an unattended installation for IIS 7.0 using an XML fi le To do this, you will use the pkgmgr.exe command along with your XML fi le for the unattended installation

We won’t go over how to create the XML fi le, but before creating it, you must obtain the build number of the operating system you are installing to:

1 Locate the regedit.exe fi le in the C:\Windows directory (assuming that you installed Windows in C:\Windows)

2 Right-click regedit.exe and click Properties.

3 Once the regedit properties come up, go to the Details tab and you will see the Product version, as shown in Figure 13.22 In our case the product version is 6.0.6001.16497 This

number is used in the <assemblyIdentity> section of our unattend.xml fi le.

Figure 13.21 Pkgmgr.exe Installation Complete

In this example, we will install all the features available for IIS 7.0 in Longhorn Server using

the unattended installation method In a situation where as the administrator you have to deploy

numerous servers with multiple if not all features for IIS 7.0, using the unattended method will likely

be your best bet:

1 Create a fi le named unattend.xml using a text editor like Notepad or a tool such as Visual Studio, as we have in Figure 13.23

Figure 13.22 Obtaining the Build Number

2 Now we will open a command window and install IIS 7.0 using pkgmgr as we did previously, but this time we’ll call the unattend.xml fi le we created So in the command

window, type start /w pkgmgr /n:C:\unattend.xml as shown in Figure 13.24. Figure 13.23 Unattend.xml fi le

3 Once IIS 7.0 is installed, you will come to a blinking cursor (see Figure 13.25).
