I copied my IIS 8 metabase (Windows Server 2012) and to an IIS 7.5 (Windows 2008 R2) box. It is working fine. Is there an official statement by Microsoft that confirms that the IIS 8 metabase is backward compatible with IIS 7.5?
We have been running this for a while now without any problems. The only setting that we use and that is not backward compatible is the sslFlags (on configuration/system.applicationHost/sites/site/bindings/binding[protocol="https). So after copying the metabase, we just deleted that attribute and things are fine.

We have got below error when we are accessing our ASP.NEt WebForms applications which is hosted in IIS 7 but the MVC Application is working though:
c:\windows\system32\inetsrv> "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\vbc.exe
we already tried restarting our server and changing app pool current user but still no good result.
Ok what we did is below from Microsoft:
Known issue for security updates 3098779 and 3097997 for the .NET Framework 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 after you install the .NET Framework 4.6 on Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2
What we did is the solution 2 which is to remove KB3098779 and KB3097997 in the windows update in our windows 2012 server and everything's back to normal.

You can't. .NET Framework 4.5 requires Windows Server 2008 at least as can be seen in the System Requirements page:
System requirements
Supported Operating System
Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2
Windows Vista Service Pack 2
Windows Vista SP2 (x86 and x64)
Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x86 and x64)
Hardware Requirements:
1 GHz or faster processor
512 MB of RAM
850 MB of available hard disk space (x86)
2 GB hard drive (x64)
The latest .NET framework version you could install on Windows Server 2003 is .NET 4.0.
You need at least IIS 7.0.
Here are the requirements for .NET 4.5 framework:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8z6watww%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
You're going to have to use .NET 4.0, which porting your project over shouldn't be too painstaking.
Take your project and change compatibility to 4.0 for framework.
Fix some of the errors, and EF errors you may get, and repush to the IIS 6.0 server.
You need to ensure all the runtimes are installed, and the app is running on the
.NET 4.0 pool.
IIS 6 is part of Windows Server 2003 (and technically XP 64-bit).
.Net 4.5 cannot be installed on Windows Server 2003, thus IIS is not supported.
I want to update the IIS server from 5.0 to 6.0 or higher.
The condition is that I cant upgrade the server. My machine is Windows XP SP3
Is there any way I can only update the IIS.
You can install IIS Express 7.5 on Windows XP. Note that the Express version is a lightweight (yet fully featured) version of IIS meant for development purposes, not production hosting. You shouldn't use Windows XP as a production server anyway.
You can run it on XP Pro 32bit
Check the link here - http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/868/iis-express-overview/
I have installed IIS 6.0 Manager for my Windows XP SP3 32-bit from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15662
In Control Panel->Administration Tool (I guess its name translated from italian :) now I have two items:
Internet Information Services - the 5.1 version bundled with the OS
Internet Information Services (IIS6) Manager - the installed version from the link above
Also, if an application works on IIS 7, would it be cool on the new version (if there is any)?
Err...even Microsoft's marketing material(dead link) is confusing! (says both IIS 7.0 and 7.5). However, I believe that Windows Server 2008 Web comes with IIS 7.0 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Web comes with IIS 7.5 FYI.
And yes, if you have an app working on IIS 7, it will work fine on IIS 7.5.
Edit: Appears Microsoft has update their site since this was posted, leaving link up for anyone looking for information on Server and Server R2.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/product-information.aspx
IIS version 7.5.
My guess is if Microsoft doesn't suck, an app working in 7.0 should be fine on a newer subversion, there should be no core changes. Then again, it is Microsoft, so I can't say that for certain.
Does anyone know if it's possible to run IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008. From what I understand Windows Server 2008 R2 is an exclusively 64-bit OS. Can we upgrade IIS7 to IIS7.5 on Windows 2008 (not R2)
Unfortunately, you cannot. IIS has always been tied to an OS release and is only available on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
Keep in mind that a 64-bit OS runs most 32-bit things just fine in WoW64 (Including IIS application pools), are you prohibited from running something on that server this way?
Is there anything in particular that you need? Some of the features of 2008 R2 are available for download at http://www.iis.net/download including the Admin Pack, WebDAV, FTP 7.5 and more.
