IIS7 on Server Core
Server core is a capability included in Server 2008 which installs the bare minimum to have one or more roles function properly. There were 7 roles available for server core and at TechEd IIS7 was announced as an addition to the list. IIS7 in server core is available in the June CTP and in all…
New SSL FTP on IIS7 screencast
