Installing IIS eight.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2

This document describes how to install Internet Information Services (IIS) eight.5 on Windows Server® 2012 R2. IIS is the Web server role in Windows Server 2012 R2. The Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system has all the IIS features needed to support the hosting of Web content in product environments. Windows 8 likewise includes IIS features, but feature availability depends on the operating arrangement version.

Note

You can apply the procedures in this certificate to install IIS 8.0 or IIS 8.5.

The Web server has a modular design that enables you to customize a server by adding or removing modules to come across your specific needs. The Install IIS eight.five on Windows Server 2012 R2 section describes how to install modules, and the Modules in IIS 8.5 section below describes the functionality that each module provides and which modules are installed past default.

New in IIS 8.five

IIS 8.5 includes several new features not institute in IIS 8.0 or lower:

  • Enhanced logging. An ambassador tin enable the logging of additional custom fields from request or response headers, or from server variables.
  • Logging to event tracing for Windows. An administrator tin can enable the sending of logging information to Event Tracing for Windows (ETW).
  • Dynamic Website activation. If in that location are a large number of configured sites (100 or greater, by default), the service volition not actuate any of the sites when the service is started.
  • Idle Worker Process Page-Out. An administrator can enable an idle worker process to be suspended rather than terminated.

For more information on these features, run across What's New in IIS 8.5.

For information on new features in IIS 8.0, see What's New in IIS 8.0.

Feature Dependencies

The following table shows which role services and features must exist installed for the function service or features in the table row to be installed.

The Add Roles and Features Magician and Remove Roles and Features Wizard of Server Manager take care of dependencies past prompting you to add dependencies when calculation a role service or feature, or to remove dependencies when removing a role service or feature. However, when y'all install IIS using DISM, you demand to include in the DISM code any dependency that a role service or feature beingness installed has, or the installation will fail, and y'all may not receive an indication why it failed.

When you remove a role service or feature, make sure that you do not remove a service or feature that another service or feature has a dependency on. At that place tin can be an intersection of dependencies, for example between ASP and ASP.Net. So if you were to remove ASP, and remove its feature dependencies, yous could remove dependencies for ASP.Internet, every bit well.
