Keywords: ASPNET IIS Extensions Enable 2000 2003 Windows Angst
Weird when it rains it pours IIS ASP.NET configuration requirements. A rebuilt W2K3 Server and prepping a W2K Server for .NET Beta 2 afforded me the opportunity to add ASP.NET support on both platforms on the same day. And its one of those things you forget. "Hmm, what did I not re-install yet???"
Nope, to add ASP.NET support to IIS in W2K3, you install ASP.NET through the Add Programs control panel, then allow it in IIS Web Service Extensions. Here's an excellent tutorial.
For Windows 2000, best course is ASPNET_REGIIS which you run at the command line with the -i parameter.
Now a quick search of my blog on "angst" and I'll have it.
