How to Install Iis on Windows 2008 R2
2.1.4. Ensure that IIS is installed
On Windows Server OS installations, IIS is usually installed as part of the factory configuration, whereas on Windows workstation OS installations, you typically need to manually add the components to the factory configuration. The steps that you need to take to verify its installation are listed below for each operating system family:
a) Windows XP or 2003 Server
To check if you have IIS installed, click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools. Under the "Administrative Tools folder", you should see an icon for "Internet Information Services". If you don't see this icon, then it means that you need to add IIS to your computer:
To install IIS, you need to click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, then choose the option to "Add / Remove Windows Components" as illustrated below:
Check the box marked either "Internet Information Services (IIS)" or "Application Server", and click the "Next" button to install the missing Windows components. Once the installation has completed, IIS will now be installed on your system. To verify that this is the case, type into the address bar of Internet Explorer on your computer. You should see a screen displaying the initial IIS startup page:
| Windows XP IIS Default Page | Windows 2003 Server IIS Default Page |
