    Hello jdacircle,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    From the description above, I understand your question is related to IIS and SQL.

    Since there are no engineers dedicated to IIS and SQL in this forum. in order to be able to get a quick and effective handling of your issue, I recommend that you repost your question in the Q&A forum, where there will be a dedicated engineer to give you a professional and effective reply.

    Here is the link for Q&A forum.

    Click the "Ask a Question" button in the upper right corner to post your question and type "Internet Information Services" tag and "SQL" tag and select any tags related to your productions.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    sorry but this is not what I ask, I do not need any information about IIS Web Server, MSSQL or Operating system. I want to know if software like answers.microsoft.com community discussion forum is available for general public users so we can download it and install it on our local machine. And run it with our company website.

    I am sorry for my misunderstanding.

However, the software behind this forum is proprietary and created specifically for Microsoft's use. It is not available for general public download or for installation on private servers.

    If you are looking for similar community forum software that you can use for your company's website, there are several other options available, both open-source and commercial. Some popular options include:

    1. Discourse:

    An open-source forum software that is flexible and highly customizable.

    1. phpBB:

    Another open-source option that has a large community and is widely used.

    1. Vanilla Forums:

    Offers both open-source and commercial versions.

    1. Flarum:

    An open-source, lightweight forum software that's easy to set up and use.

    You can choose one of these options based on your specific needs, such as ease of customization, scalability, and support.
