I just got Windows Server 2012 Essentials installed and I would like to set up my dev web projects in IIS on the server. But I can't seem to find how to get to it? When I remote to the machine with my admin account all I seem to have access to is the dashboard.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Essentials comes with IIS preinstalled, so unless you uninstalled it for some reason, its there already.
I'm assuming you want to get to the IIS 8 admin tool.
In order to get there
press the start button (on your keyboard)
click on the Administrative Tools tile
From there scroll down to IIS Manager and double click
OR
Hold down the windows key and press the R key (win+r)
then type in inetmgr
Apparently is not that simple on ws2012 as I thought, please try following this guide:

I don't think it's whether he has it installed or not, it's that they changed how you GET to it. IIS manager USED to be accessible from Server Manager, but it is no longer so. In 2008 (and earlier, but I don't have a box readily available) from Server Manager, expand Roles, then Web Server. If you click "web Server" You see a "dashboard", displaying events, Services, Best Practices, Etc. WITHIN that, you can click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and see the sites, and manage and configure the sites on the machine.
In 2012, you can ONLY see that dashboard information, events, service status, best practice, etc. There's no way to navigate into IIS and manage the sites and applications. Up in the top-right corner, the menu "Tools" (Between "Manage" and "View") contains IIS Manager.
I'd LOOOOOVE to see a transcript of the design session where this change was suggested. Mostly just to get the attendance, and then hunt them all down.
Make sure that the IIS Management Console is enabled through via Control Panel -> Programs and Features. From Server Manager, click Add roles and features and follow the prompts.
You can find the inetmgr.exe at the below location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
Or you can run it from the run window
Win + R -> inetmgr -> Enter

I copied a web application to my local development machine. When I open the solution in Visual Studio 2019, I get the following error:
Unable to open the Web site 'http://localhost/XYZ'. The Web site 'http://localhost/XYZ' does not
exist. Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read.
I found this similar question and answer:
The Web site {site name} does not exist
But the directory that is indicated in the error message is different. My error is specifically targeting "http://localhost/...". I've been developing with Visual Studio for several years and I've worked with IIS a little - configuring application pools and converting directories to websites - but that's about it. Any idea what I'm missing here?
You can try the following steps to solve your problem：
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Programs and Features.
Click Turn Windows features on or off.
In the dialog box, expand Internet Information Services.
Expand Web Management Tools, and then expand IIS 6 Management
Compatibility.
Click to select the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration
compatibility check box, and then click OK.
I am trying to migrate a classic asp web site to IIS 10 from IIS 6.0. My handler mapping looks like below. I want to add classic asp in handler mapping, but don't know what to select for the types drop down. In the older version of IIS, I don't have type drop down, I only have executable where I typed
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll
Also, do I need to add anything else like aspq-ISAPI-4.0_64bit in HTTP handlers in order for my classic asp web site to work. My web site is giving an error " 404 - File or directory not found.". This web site is working perfectly on IIS 6.0
As andrew say's you should make sure you have installed the asp module for your IIS. More details about how to install the classic asp in the window10 or windows server, you could refer to below steps:
1.Install the classic asp in the windows server:
1.On the taskbar, click Server Manager.
2.In Server Manager, click the Manage menu, and then click Add Roles and Features.
3.In the Add Roles and Features wizard, click Next. Select the installation type and click Next. Select the destination server and click Next.
4.On the Server Roles page, expand Web Server (IIS), expand Web Server, and then expand Application Development.
5.On the Server Roles page, select ASP.
6.If the Add features that are required by ASP? dialog box appears, click Add Features. (This page appears only if you have not already installed ISAPI Extensions on your server.)
7.On the Server Roles page, ASP and ISAPI Extensions should be selected. Click Next.
8.Then you could click the next and install to complete the installing
For the windows 10 application:
1.On the Start screen, move the pointer all the way to the lower left corner, right-click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.
2.In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off.
3.Expand Internet Information Services, expand World Wide Web Services, expand Application Development Features, and then select ASP.
4.Click OK to wait for installing.
Details, you could refer to this article.
I'm a newbie here and have found some of the material really useful. However, I can't seem to resolve this issue: I'm running Windows 7 Professional and don't have an inetmgr.exe file in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv. I have a number of iis... files but no inetmgr.exe file.
The bigger picture is that I'm trying to get Apache and PHP working on my laptop and am going round in circles trying to get Localhost to work. I keep getting "Webpage cannot be found" and searching the net has led me to believe the inetmgr.exe file might be key to resolving the problem. That and port 80 might be involved somewhere....
In case you haven't already picked this detail up, I am way, way, way out of my comfort zone with this but I really need to get this working for a course I'm taking.
Thank in advance for any light you may be able to shed.
Install IIS:
Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off -> Check "Internet Information Services". Select next and follow prompts to Install IIS.
For more info, see this Q&A to check for and install IIS, Check whether IIS is installed or not?
Since this question is the first Google search result for inetmgr not found, and since it can be quite puzzling to not be able to find inetmgr even if the web service seems to be working correctly, I thought I'd annotate it with the most obvious answer for those who actually need the IIS Manager: you have to install the Manager separately from WWW service (it is a separate option to installing IIS WWW service itself).
[Windows 8.x]
First, type IIS in the Start page: if you see Internet Information
(IIS) Manager, you are good to go. If not...
Go to Control Panel, "Programs and Features", then click "Turn
Windows features on or off" in the left pane.
In the "Windows Features" dialog that pops up, make sure that under
"Internet Information Services" you have "Web Management Features"
checked in addition to "World Wide Web Services". (Technically, you
just need "IIS Management Console" under "Web Management Features"
to be checked).
Don't forget to click OK in the "Windows Features" dialog. :-)
Now go to Step #1 and you should see Internet Information (IIS)
Manager as an available icon.
Inetmgr.exe is the executable for IIS. If you are trying to just have Apache and PHP work, you can use WAMP server - this will give you everything you need to start developing with PHP. The site is: http://www.wampserver.com/en/
IIS is a web server and Apache is a webserver too. If you want to use Apache, you donèt need to have IIS installed.
You need to install iis first.

In windows server 2008 R2 I found IIS Server under Roles, not features
I have just installed VS2012 and created a MVC project. I right clicked on project and selected property, I chose Web tab. I selected "Use Local IIS Web server" but the "Use IIS Express" checkbox is disabled.
I checked my C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\ folder and IIS Express 8 is there.
Any particular reason?
If I fall back to use Visual Studio Development Server, I have 50% of the chance to see "Server Too Busy" message.
All you have to do is to activate IIS in your development machine:
Start -> Control Panel -> Enable or disable Windows features -> Internet Services
Then check mark in World Wide Web Services -> Common HTTP Features
And check mark in World Wide Web Services -> Application development Features
That's all you need.
Using Full IIS has some benefits. One is that it is always running, so you don't have to start your VStudio Project to unit test. Another is that you can create an actual site and configure IIS mirroring production, using the same Admin Tools, which makes it easier to support when deployed in an environment. And, I seem to recall that IISExpress had issues with Application Routing. On the flip side, I don't see an issue with using the Full IIS. Granted, IISExpress is much better than Cassini, but if there is no reason to not use Full IIS then I conitnue to advocate it's use.
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
