Chapter 24 begins a new topic that most of you are going to find extremely interesting??”running
IIS 7 under Server Core. The amazing thing is that you can do so much without any kind of graphical
interface. About the only application type you can??™t support is ASP.NET. Chapter 24 gets you
started with IIS 7 and Chapter 25 completes the topic for Server Core.

Installing and Configuring IIS
One of the newest features in Windows Server 2008, including Server Core, is Internet Information
Server (IIS) 7. If Server Core had a Graphical User Interface (GUI), you??™d quickly see that a lot has
changed for IIS. In fact, you??™d be pretty amazed at the changes, including extensive built-in support
for the .NET Framework. However, given that Server Core doesn??™t support a GUI or the .NET
Framework, what you??™ll mainly notice is a lack of functionality. You can support static content and
scripted pages using Server Core, but you can??™t provide the significant dynamic content provided by
ASP.NET (at least, not without help??”Appendix A contains one suggestion for fixing this oversight).
