Web MV and IIS

The Web Message Viewer server component (Web MV) uses Microsoft's Internet Information Services component (IIS) to provide remote access to the Web MV client application (written as a Java Applet). Starting with Microsoft Windows Server 2008, newer versions of this IIS component (7.0, 8.0, and 8.5) are now bundled as an available server role. This Web Server role uses a new management interface that is not compatible with previous IIS versions, such as the version of IIS used by Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (IIS version 6.0).

To allow Web MV to work in all supported Windows Server environments, install another Web Server role service when you are using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or later. This role service is called IIS 6 Management Compatibility and is not automatically selected when you select to install the Web Server role. To integrate the Web MV server component with IIS on these newer operating systems, select this optional role service for installation when installing the Web Server role.
