Configuration of Internet Information Server (IIS)
General
This document describes how to setup an IIS server and a web service for UBIK on MS Server 2008 R2. The web service is used to bring data from the UBIK database to a mobile device (eg mobile phone, tablet).
Resources
A physical server with MS Server 2008 R2 is used as the host system. On this server, the Hyper-V role is installed to operate at several virtual servers . However, a virtual server can have different operating systems. But in our case we need also an MS-Server2008 R2 installation.
Install role
To install the Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2008 R2, start the server manager.
• Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
• Click Roles Summary, click Add Roles.
• Use the "Add Roles" wizard to add the Web Server role.
When you use the Add Roles Wizard to install IIS, you get the default installation, which has a minimum set of role services. If you need additional IIS role services, such as Application Development or Health and Diagnostics, make sure to select the check boxes associated with those features in the Select Role Services page of the wizard.
