  • Článek

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

This section describes how to administer your server and Web sites by using the many tools and features developed in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 to improve server management, performance, reliability, and security. This section also includes conceptual information regarding some of the key changes to the IIS architecture and to the metabase.

Important

To help minimize the attack surface of the server, IIS 6.0 is not installed on Windows Server 2003 by default. When you first install IIS 6.0, it is locked down -- which means that only request handling for static Web pages is enabled, and only the World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW service) is installed. None of the features that sit on top of IIS are turned on, including ASP, ASP.NET, CGI scripting, FrontPage® 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft, and WebDAV publishing. If you do not enable these features, IIS returns a 404 error. You can enable these features through the Web Service Extensions node in IIS Manager. For more information about how to troubleshoot 404 errors and other issues, see Troubleshooting.
