So i know i am a little bit behind on my blogging so wanted to get this up to date! In this Part we need to get a few pre-reqs all sorted. So Lets get IIS Set up. Unlike the Beta Code we only need a few elements for IIS7. Actually we just need to alter one thing!

So lets get started!

1) Go to the server Manager, and add right click roles > add new role

 33

2) The New Role Wizard will start > Click Next

34

3) In the select Server role add the “Web Server (IIS)”, and then click “Add the required Feature” when the pop up appears.

4) In the Intro to IIS screen just click next to take us onto the IIS options.

37 

5) Now in the “Role Services” section of the wizard add the “IIS Management Scripts and Tools” also confirm that the “IIS Management Console” is added. Also Select "Windows Authentication" under the security section and from the Application Development confirm that ASP.NET and .NET Extensibility are selected and then click next to review the options you have selected, and then select next again. Please also note the NOTE at the bottom of this blog.

6) Sit with a cuppa tea or Coffee whilst IIS adds it self to your Win2k8 platform and hit finish at the end!

Thats IIS done and dusted. Now onto Configuring my CA for Certificates in my estate.

Note: If you are not going to configure Certs and just want to use the management server console at a later date you must enable ASP.NET/.Net Extensibility as a role also. Else you will get a Error Code 0000C809 when you try to log into the console. This is in the same place as step 5 in this post.
