4 After installation is complete, go to http://localhost to test whether IIS is installed If it’s installed, you will see the IIS welcome screen shown in Figure 13.6, just as you’ve seen

in the other examples You can also verify the installation of the features by opening

Server Manager | Roles , then scrolling down to Role Services and verifying that the

appropriate services and features have been installed Figure 13.26 shows Server Manager and the role services installed

Now that we’ve gone over each of the installation methods, let’s look at some major feature sets and what they offer users

Installation Feature Sets

Unlike any other version of IIS, IIS 7.0 is broken down into the smallest possible installable

components In IIS 7.0, these components are called modules and are standalone in functionality or are

grouped into a larger “feature set” to help install like modules This section discusses the major feature sets and what they offer users:

■ FTP Publishing Service

■ Web Management Tools

■ IIS 6.0 Management Capability

■ World Wide Web Services

■ Application Development Features

■ Common HTTP Features

■ Health and Diagnostics

■ Performance Features

■ Security

It is important to understand what each feature set installs and further realize what potential risks (such as open ports) come with each feature set

BEST PRACTICES ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT

Microsoft recommends using the unattended installation method for administrators deploying numerous Web servers that share the same features and modules, thereby creating installations that are consistent and quicker to complete

SOME INDEPENDENT ADVICE

Always test your unattended installation in a lab or some sort of controlled

environment Now that administrators have the responsibility of understanding setup modules in greater detail, the chances of mistakes increase In addition, since the

unattended fi les are XML based, the syntax becomes tighter and less forgiving

As we stated earlier in this chapter, IIS 7.0 has a modular setup allowing administrators control of what modules are installed without concern of having non-installed modules residing in memory Modules in IIS 7.0 can be standalone or grouped into larger feature sets, helping install similar modules For administrators who will be installing IIS via a command line or script, it is especially important that they understand the details of each feature set In this section we cover the following feature sets:

■ FTP Publishing Service

■ Web Management Tools

■ World Wide Web Services

The FTP Publishing Service

The FTP Publishing Service provides FTP connectivity through IIS 7.0 It is available to Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, Ultimate, and Longhorn Server It has not changed since IIS 6.0 in

that it relies on the metabase, and therefore inetinfo.exe will reside in memory if installed

The FTP Publishing Service is not installed by default and is made up of two components, FTP Server and FTP Management Console Their modules are listed in Table 13.1 along with their descriptions

Table 13.1 FTP Publishing Modules

Module Description

Console for administrators

FTP Server provides support for uploading and downloading fi les from systems using the File Transfer Protocol The FTP Server in IIS 7.0 is simply the same one that shipped with IIS 6.0 The FTP Management Console is used by administrators to manage FTP servers locally and remotely It is located in the IIS 6.0 Manager, as shown in Figure 13.27

Web Management Tools

The Web Management Tools not only install IIS Manager, WMI, and Remote Management Service, but they are also responsible for loading IIS 6.0 Management Compatibility, which is not installed by default This is important because if you or your developers have older applications that cannot be

modifi ed to take advantage of the new architecture, such as those that use Admin Base Objects

(ABO) or Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI), you must install IIS 6.0 Management

Compatibility so that these applications can be provided with the forward compatibility that they
