How to: Install Internet Information Services 7.0 for Team Foundation Server or Team Foundation Proxy
On servers that are running Windows Server 2008, you can use Server Manager to install Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0. On computers that are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can use Control Panel to install IIS.
In addition to the default options, you must add the following modules to IIS 7.0:
ASP.NET (including .NET Extensibility, ISAPI Extensions, and ISAPI Filters)
IIS 6.0 Management Compatibility (including IIS 6 Management Console, IIS 6 Scripting Tools, IIS 6 WMI Compatibility, and IIS Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration compatibility)
Windows Authentication (If Windows Authentication is not available on your operating system, you can use basic authentication.)
Note
Basic authentication is not as secure as Windows authentication. If you expect to use Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and Team Explorer on the same computer, basic authentication may not be a problem. If you expect to access Team Foundation Server over a network, you might want to configure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) after configuration or upgrade the operating system to an edition that supports Windows authentication. Windows Vista Premium, Windows 7 Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 support Windows authentication.
Required Permissions
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators security group on the server on which you are installing IIS.
