how can I setup ISS for SCCM 2007 in Windows Server 2008

[anyweb]

Part 1. Add the Web Server role to Windows Server 2008

 

This guide assumes that you have first installed Windows Server 2008 and configured it for Active Directory (AD) and setup a working DHCP server. Steps 1 and 2 of this guide will show you how to setup and configure both the AD role and the DHCP role. Once done you can continue below.

 

If you would like to read the Official Microsoft documentation for setting up IIS with Webdav then please read this

 

 

Add the Web Server role (IIS 7) to Windows Server 2008.

 

Click on Start, choose Server Manager, scroll down to Roles Summary and choose Add roles

 

 

at the Before you begin page, click next

 

 

in the Server Roles page, click on Web Server IIS

 

 

a window will appear notifying you that some required features also need to be installed

 

click on Add required features

 

 

at this point you can now click on Next in the Server roles page...

 

 

you'll get an Introduction about Web Server IIS and how it integrates with Windows Server, click next to continue

 

 

now we have to select the role services to install for IIS

 

under Application Development place a checkmark in ASP.NET

 

an additional window will pop up telling us that the following roles and features are also installed

 

Application Development

ISAPI Extensions

ISAPA Filters

.NET Extensibility

 

Windows Process Activation Service

.NET Environment

 

click on Add Required Role Services

 

 

Click on Next when done

 

review the confirmation screen and click Install to continue

 

 

Once done review the results pane

 

 

click Close to exit

 

The Web Server (IIS) role should now appear in Server Manager Roles Summary.

 

 

if you open a web-browser and enter the following address http://localhost you should see the nice IIS 7 welcome screen

ok then,

 

continue with the REST of the guide and ignore that problem for now. We'll come back to it later but i'm sure you have a configuration issue somewhere..

 

if you are willing I can do a remote desktop session with you

 

but for now, for any new problems you get please open a NEW topic/thread

 

cheers

Hi Anyweb and professor

 

I had the same problem I solved this with the following maybe this also helps you

 

 

If you are using Windows Server 2008, you need to install the Desktop Experience feature. To do so, use the following steps:

 

Start the Windows Server Manager.

In the tree view, highlight the Features node.

In the details pane, click Add Features.

In the Add Features Wizard, check the Desktop Experience box, and then click Next.

Click Install.

When the Add Features Wizard has finished, click Close.

Click Yes when promoted to restart the computer

 

Regards,

that is totally weird, on all the server 2008's i setup with SCCM i've never enabled that feature,

 

I hope to get a definitive answer to this problem soon.

Hi

 

Indead it is very strange I installed Sccm on my first server and it was not needed

Afterwards I started all over to check if the documents I've created where correct and then I needed to add this future !

 

Below you find the link

[anyweb]

thanks for the link, and you are right, that is for basic authentication, I'll add that to my documentation

 

Note: If you choose to use Basic Authentication with the WebDAV redirector, you must connect to your server using HTTPS.

 

* The WebDAV Redirector must be installed:

o You must use Server Manager to install the Desktop Experience feature before you can use the WebDAV redirector.

Here is a jpg of my desktop on the server. I am a Domain Administrator.

 

Cheers

 

 

I am having the exact issue. Did you get any resolution on this?

[anyweb]

install the desktop experience feature, and it should resolve.

I followed this when setting up a win 2008, sql 2008, SCCM 2007. I got one problem after installing, my Management Point dident install properly.

 

To get MP to install properly i allso had to change these WebDAV settings:

 

To do this:

1. Open IIS Manager (located under administrative tools)

2. Expand your site

3. Doubbleclick WebDAV Authoring Rules

4. Click WebDAV settings in the right column

5. Change according to my picture above

6. Click OK everywhere

 

Done

 

To se if your MP is installed correctly you can watch the log: <SCCM install dir>\logs\MPSetup.log

[anyweb]

well spotted, and p.s. that info is already in part 2 of setting up SCCM 2007 right here ;-)

 

cheers
