Microsoft IIS

The host server requires Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Note also the special requirements for IIS 7.x and 8.0 (see below).

To check the installed version of ASP.NET, run the CA DataMinder Version Check utility, wgncheck.exe. Search the output for the Microsoft IIS section. When you check the IIS version, you also need to confirm that the ASP.NET Web Service extension is registered with IIS. If it is not, you must register it manually (see below).

Registering IIS Extensions

iConsole application servers and front-end Web servers require IIS and various Web Service extensions provided with .NET Framework. We strongly recommend that you install or enable IIS before installing .NET Framework.

If this is not possible or practical, you can install .NET Framework before you install IIS, but you must then manually register the Web Service extensions before running the iConsole installation wizard:

To register the Web Service extensions

1. On the target server, go to the following folder:

   %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

2. In this folder, run the following command:

   aspnet_regiis /i
   

3. Restart the target server.

IIS must be running in 32-bit mode

iConsole servers cannot run if IIS is hosting other applications that require it to be in 64-bit mode.

IIS subcomponent 'SMTP Service' must be enabled

The IIS subcomponent, SMTP Service, must be running on the target server to allow the local machine to deliver SMTP emails, including audit emails sent by iConsole reviewers; see Set Up SMTP Email.

Special Requirements for IIS 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0

(Applies to iConsole servers on Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012)

If the host server is running IIS 7.0, 7.5, or 8.0, you must install various Web Server Role Services.

To install the required Web Server Role Services

1. Log on to Windows Server.
2. Click Start and choose Server Manager.
3. Browse to Roles, Web Server (IIS) and click Add Role Services.
4. In the Select Role Services screen, ensure that the following role services are installed:

   Web Server, Management Tools

   Select all IIS 6 Management Compatibility items.

   Web Server, Application Development

   Select ASP.NET. All associated role services are installed automatically.

   Web Server, Common HTTP Features

   Select Static Content.

   Web Server, Security

   Select Windows Authentication.
