Installing IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2

This document describes how to install Net Information Services (IIS) eight.5 on Windows Server® 2012 R2. IIS is the Web server office in Windows Server 2012 R2. The Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system has all the IIS features needed to support the hosting of Web content in product environments. Windows eight also includes IIS features, but feature availability depends on the operating system version.

Notation

Yous can use the procedures in this document to install IIS 8.0 or IIS viii.5.

The Web server has a modular blueprint that enables yous to customize a server past adding or removing modules to come across your specific needs. The Install IIS viii.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2 section describes how to install modules, and the Modules in IIS viii.5 section below describes the functionality that each module provides and which modules are installed past default.

New in IIS eight.5

IIS 8.5 includes several new features non establish in IIS 8.0 or lower:

  • Enhanced logging. An ambassador tin enable the logging of additional custom fields from request or response headers, or from server variables.
  • Logging to event tracing for Windows. An administrator tin can enable the sending of logging data to Event Tracing for Windows (ETW).
  • Dynamic Website activation. If there are a large number of configured sites (100 or greater, past default), the service will not actuate any of the sites when the service is started.
  • Idle Worker Process Page-Out. An administrator can enable an idle worker process to be suspended rather than terminated.

For more data on these features, see What's New in IIS viii.5.

For data on new features in IIS 8.0, see What'due south New in IIS viii.0.

Before Y'all Begin

Ensure that you have authoritative user rights on the reckoner on which you lot plan to install IIS 8.v. Note that by default, you lot practice not accept administrative user rights if you lot are logged on as a user other than as the built-in administrator, even if yous were added to the local Administrators group on the computer.

Log on either to the born administrator account, or explicitly invoke applications every bit the built-in administrator by using the runas control-line tool.

Note

Yous tin run runas /user:ambassador cmd.exe so that every application you run from that control line will be elevated, eliminating the demand to use the runas syntax from that control line.

If yous are logged on to an account other than the built-in local administrator account, you may meet the following security alarm dialog box.

Install IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2

IIS is one of the server roles on Windows Server 2012 R2, named Web Server (IIS). You tin use the post-obit to install IIS:

  • The Server Director user interface in Windows Server 2012 R2
  • A command-line installation using DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management)
  • A command-line installation using PowerShell cmdlets

Note

IIS can besides be installed on Windows 8 through the Plow Windows features on or off dialog box from the Programs and Features settings of the Control Console.

Install IIS 8.5 using the Server Manager

Server Manager provides a single dashboard to install or uninstall server roles, role services, and features. Server Manager also gives an overview of all currently installed roles and features.

When you install IIS viii.5 using the Windows Server 2012 R2 Server Manager, the steps you perform are unlike when you install IIS for the first fourth dimension, as opposed to when you lot add together roles, services, or features to an existing IIS installation. The ii procedures are provided beneath. Different procedures are also used to add and remove roles, function services, and features. Y'all cannot add and remove from the same UI

For more data on how to run the installation wizards in Server Manager, come across Install or Uninstall Roles, Role Services, or Features.

Install IIS viii.5 for the first fourth dimension in the Server Manager

When the Spider web Server (UI) role is chosen for the showtime time in the Add together Roles and Features Sorcerer in Server Managing director, the basic components and services needed for IIS are automatically selected.

Annotation

Pkgmgr.exe has been deprecated. Employ DISM instead for scripts installing IIS eight.5.

Install IIS eight.5 using DISM

Automating the installation of IIS past using unattended scripts is very useful if you demand to deploy multiple Spider web servers and want to ensure that each of the Web servers is set upward with identical components and services. In Windows Server 2012 R2, DISM is used for unattended scripts, letting y'all install or uninstall optional features from a command prompt or scripts. To apply DISM, you must make sure you have administrative user rights on the computer. For more information about DISM, see DISM Overview

If you do not explicitly include in the DISM code a feature that the IIS installation has a dependency on, the installation will fail, and will not generate an error message. For a list of dependencies required, see Characteristic Dependencies.

For a full list of the DISM parameters corresponding to IIS roles, services, and features, see Modules in IIS 8.five.

The following script will install all roles, role services, and features of IIS eight.5, getting the total IIS installation that includes all available feature packages. If there are roles, role services, or features that you lot exercise non need, you should edit the script to include only those that you require. The society of the commands in the DISM script does not affair. The entire script will exist handed off to the engine and treated as one transaction. To install IIS viii.5 with a script, type the following on i line in an elevated command prompt.

              DISM.EXE /enable-feature /online /featureName:IIS-WebServerRole /featureName:IIS-WebServer  /featureName:IIS-CommonHttpFeatures /featureName:IIS-StaticContent /featureName:IIS-DefaultDocument  /featureName:IIS-DirectoryBrowsing /featureName:IIS-HttpErrors /featureName:IIS-HttpRedirect  /featureName:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /featureName:IIS-ASPNET /featureName:IIS-NetFxExtensibility  /featureName:IIS-ASPNET45 /featureName:IIS-NetFxExtensibility45 /featureName:IIS-ASP /featureName:IIS-CGI  /featureName:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /featureName:IIS-ISAPIFilter /featureName:IIS-ServerSideIncludes  /featureName:IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics /featureName:IIS-HttpLogging /featureName:IIS-LoggingLibraries  /featureName:IIS-RequestMonitor /featureName:IIS-HttpTracing /featureName:IIS-CustomLogging  /featureName:IIS-ODBCLogging /featureName:IIS-Security /featureName:IIS-BasicAuthentication  /featureName:IIS-WindowsAuthentication /featureName:IIS-DigestAuthentication  /featureName:IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication /featureName:IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication  /featureName:IIS-URLAuthorization /featureName:IIS-RequestFiltering /featureName:IIS-IPSecurity  /featureName:IIS-Operation /featureName:IIS-HttpCompressionStatic /featureName:IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic  /featureName:IIS-WebDAV /featureName:IIS-WebServerManagementTools /featureName:IIS-ManagementScriptingTools  /featureName:IIS-ManagementService /featureName:IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility /featureName:IIS-Metabase  /featureName:IIS-WMICompatibility /featureName:IIS-LegacyScripts /featureName:IIS-FTPServer /featureName:IIS-FTPSvc  /featureName:IIS-FTPExtensibility /featureName:NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45 /featureName:IIS-ApplicationInit  /featureName:IIS-WebSockets /featureName:IIS-CertProvider /featureName:IIS-ManagementConsole /featureName:IIS-LegacySnapIn

Management Service IIS-ManagementService Web-Mgmt-Service Enables the Web server to exist managed remotely from another computer using IIS Manager.

Feature Dependencies

The following table shows which role services and features must be installed for the function service or features in the tabular array row to be installed.

The Add together Roles and Features Wizard and Remove Roles and Features Wizard of Server Manager take care of dependencies by prompting you to add dependencies when adding a part service or feature, or to remove dependencies when removing a part service or feature. However, when you lot install IIS using DISM, you demand to include in the DISM code any dependency that a role service or feature being installed has, or the installation will fail, and you may not receive an indication why it failed.

When you remove a role service or feature, make sure that you practise not remove a service or characteristic that another service or feature has a dependency on. There can be an intersection of dependencies, for case between ASP and ASP.Cyberspace. And then if you were to remove ASP, and remove its feature dependencies, you could remove dependencies for ASP.NET, as well.
