Overall understanding of IIS 7.0

We are going to learn about IIS 7.0 today. First, let's get to know it first. IIS 7.0 is a fully modular Web server. Familiar with popular Apache Web server software users, you will know that its biggest advantage lies in its customization, you can configure it to display only static HTML, or dynamically load different modules to allow different types of service content.

However, the current IIS cannot implement this feature well, which causes two problems: first, due to the impact of features that are not used by many users on the code, sometimes users are not satisfied with the performance. Second, the security risks caused by too many default interfaces.

The new IIS7 completely solves this problem. IIS7 is divided into more than 40 modules with different functions from the core layer. Functions such as verification, caching, static page processing, and directory list are all modularized.

This means that your Web server IIS 7.0 can install the corresponding functional modules as needed. There may be security risks and unnecessary modules won't be loaded into the memory, the attack surface of the program is reduced, and the performance is also improved.

As a new feature of Windows Server 2008, the Server Manager tool allows us to complete the following tasks on a configuration interface: Install/uninstall Server roles and functions; quickly view the status of installed roles; access role management tools. The following describes how to install and configure IIS 7.0 using server management tools.

First, make sure that you have the Administrator permission. By default, unless you log on with the Administrator account, you generally do not have this permission. The account you log on to has been added to the local Administrator group, this is also the case. This is a new security feature called LUA in Windows Server 2008.

Therefore, make sure that you log on with the system's built-in Administrator account, or use the "runas" command line tool to specify the Administrator to call the application.

To start notepad.exe, run the following command: "runas/user: administrator notepad.exe ". In this case, you will be prompted to enter the password of the Administrator account.

A convenient method is to run the "runas/user: administrator cmd.exe" command to obtain a command line window with elevated permissions. In this way, you can run each application in the command line window with higher permissions. In this window, you do not need to use the "runas" syntax.

We will briefly introduce so much about IIS 7.0.
