I have two computers, home and work. The home computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium and work computer has Windows 7 Professional. Both have IIS7 installed on.
On the left hand side of the image you can see my home computer iis features on/off screen and on the right hand side my work computer's iis features. Sory for my home computer language is turkish but I matched corresponding items in english.
My question is why left side has only 4 security features whereas right side has 8. How can I add missing fetures?
IIS on Windows Home Premium edition is limited comparing to Windows Professional. For example, windows authentication (almost any domain related stuff) is not supported. That's why you see different feature sets.

Recently, we have switched our server that handles Remote Desktop connections from 2003 to 2012. When I run the same winForms program on each server, the one on 2012 appears to be larger. My workstation is Windows 10 and I put the resolution down to 1280 x 768 so I can see the screen at the top and the bottom on each RDP session on each server. On the 2003 server, the screen fits the desktop. On the 2012 server, the screen goes below the desktop and you can't see the bottom. It appears the controls such as the text boxes are just a little larger which is forcing the whole program to be larger.
I did check the "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" on Windows 10 desktop and it's set to 100% (Recommended). This doesn't seem to be the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas why the behavior would change between the two servers?
This is probably because 2012 does DPI-scaling (so the remote session tries to adjust the DPI to the same as it is on the client session): https://superuser.com/questions/830234/remote-desktop-into-windows-8-1-pc-with-high-dpi-scaling (also, I guess that you mean 2012R2 because DPI scaling only appears in RDP 8.1 which corresponds to 2012R2).
I have the same issue and I'm just blown away at the amount of money my organization has spent on RDS 2012 and it's been nothing but a complete nightmare. We have various types of Surfaces, desktops and monitors all of which require each user to have the ability to change the resolution and display settings on the actual terminal services end. We've tried everything on both the client and server side to correct this but displays are either too large for some users and too small for other users. Why doesn't Microsoft come out with a patch like there was for server 2008???? I understand the DPI scaling technology, and I will tell you it's horrible when you have multiple versions of the Microsoft Surface and other brand desktops (and yes we have installed the desktop experience on the server end).
Here's what I strongly recommend:
Abandon the whole terminal server 2012 configuration and go with individual virtual desktops. After this, install the display and resolution patch for each desktop which lets each user configure their own resolution and display settings. Not only will your users thank you but you'll thank yourself!!
We had this issue for about a week and I restarted our Windows Server 2012 on remote desktop and DPI is back to normal! :) I guess this must be some automatic Windows update that fixed this.
I'm having a hard time trying to find where it is located the IIS Security features in Windows Server 2012.
The common steps :
1.Open the Control Panel
2.Search for Programs and Features
3.Select Turn Windows Features on or off
4.Expand the IIS node
5.World Wide Web Services > Security and enable IP Security.
However, these steps are not valid for Windows server 2012.
Where is it located Security/IP Address and Domain Restrictions feature ?
Ok, I got it, the steps are:
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Search for Programs and Features
3. Select Turn Windows Features on or off
4. A wizard is displayed. Click Next until you get to "Server Roles" option at left side.
5. Select and expand Web Server (IIS) .
6. Select and expand Web Server.
7. Select and expand Security.
8. Check IP and Domain Restrictions.
I hope it helps.
Hi I want to acces, open "inetmgr.exe" on my Windows 7 machine. But none of the searches are working. ( Start Menu --> Search Program and Files NOR Search in My Computer).
I somehow want to access inetmgr.exe of IIS(InternetInformation Services).
So can anyone kindly let me know the
default location of inetmgr.exe or any
DOS command to access it. I even
tried typing "inetmgr.exe" in command
prompt. But not working. So PLz
somehow I need to access inetmgr.exe.
Thanks in advance.
It should be available in following location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe
But when you goto start menu and type inetmgr.exe it should be visible in the list. If not then something wrong with your installation or that file has been deleted.
At first check IIS is installed or not.
For XP
Open Control Panel
Add-Remove Windows Components.
For Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012
Open Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows features on or off.
I had the same issue. Go into Control Panel -> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off.
Click on features for Internet Information Services. Specifically, Web Management Tools and Wold Wide Web Services.
For Web Management Tools
->IIS 6 Management Compatibility
->IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. (or any other features you think you may need)
I had the same problem on Windows Server 2016 with it not wanting to search. IIS Manager (with our normal websites) was showing in the Start menu but IIS 6 Manager was not (where the SMTP Virtual Server settings are located).
Luckily you can launch it from within Server Manager:
Yes, I installed IIS and still couldn't find InetMgr.exe until I went back to
Turn Windows features on or off
and then checked
Internet Information Services
Web Management Tools
IIS Management Console
My friend accidentally bought a laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. He figured out how to install IIS on it, but it doesn't seem to have either the management console or the admin tools. Is there any way for him to configure a site or import an IIS 6 config file?
EDIT: "Windows Vista Home Edition" --> "Windows Vista Home Basic Edition".
Not entirely certain here, but start the IIS console on another machine and tell it to connect to the laptop? The normal management console snap-ins all support remote operation.
Yu need to go back into Windows Component Setup and choose to install the Managemnet console(s).
Control Panel>Programs->Turn Windows Feature on and off.
You will see Internet Information Services in there, go under there and you will find the management console(s).
And yes, they are available to be installed on Vista Home. Once installed you can setup by opening Control Panel->Adminstrative Tools and you will see the IIS manager in there.
Per Microsoft Technet, IIS Management Console is unavailable on Windows Vista Home Basic and Starter Editions though it is available on Home Premium and above. And I can confirm it doesn't appear in the list of options when I install IIS.
Okay, not being on Vista I don't know for sure, but on XP the application which controls IIS is %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc. Perhaps hunting around for iis.msc would be a first step.
You should be able to do an upgrade to home premium. I'm pretty sure it's available at quite a low cost. My Home Basic laptop came with a CD that had all the necessary stuff for upgrading to a different version of Windows (I upgraded to Linux). If you really want IIS to do development work, you should really upgrade. Or if you just want .Net, you can install VS.Net Express and use the development server.
I'm looking at a new computer which will probably have vista on it. But there are so many editions of vista; are there any weird restrictions on what you can run on the various editions? For instance you couldn't run IIS on Windows ME. Can you still run IIS on the home editions of vista?
Vista Home Basic only has enough IIS features to host WCF services and does not have any of web server features for hosting static files, asp.net, etc.
Here is a link to compare editions. I would recommend going with Home Premium or Ultimate depending on whether the computer will run on a domain.
You can't run Aero on the 'basic' editions, and there are some 'extras' that only run in Ultimate. You probably won't care about those for development, though. The only thing to be careful of would be that it has the same client access restrictions that XP did.
Get Home Premium unless you need to connect to a domain controller (if you don't know what that is, you don't need it).
