Hi, TeakWoodKit: WebDAV is actually part of IIS 7.5 in Windows Server 2008 R2. The install fails because it's built into the Web server as one of the features. If you have WS 2008 R2, you have WebDav. If you are working with IIS7 on Windows Server 2008, you will need to install WebDav as a Web download.

Thanks,

Mai-lan

I am tryin gto install the WebDav extensions for IIS 7.5 Windows 2008 R2 RC. The webdav installer fails . It states that IIS 7.0 "must be installed".

I am required to have Web Dave for SCCM 2007 R2. The installers "webdav_x64_75" and "webdav_x64_rtw" both fail.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

I have a problem on creating an App pool from existing one on IIS 7 for windows server 2008, what I’m trying to do is to create a new app pool from an existing one as we have it before in IIS 6 for windows server 2003

I tried many ways but the thing I couldn’t find HOW!!!

One additional note: You can also install IIS to the c:\ drive and then use Thomas' nifty script to move it.

Hi, folks: I wanted to reply to a few of the comments posted to this blog entry...

Marcoshaw: Thanks for the clarification on the terminology. You are right about the snap-in terminology. We made sure that we are consistently using the right terminology through our documentation (learn.iis.net/.../managing-iis-with-the-iis-70-powershell-snap-in).

Anonymous about FTP Membership Auth support: I passed along the feedback to FTP guru Rob McMurray, who loooves to talk about FTP. :-) I will cross-link when some more content is available.

Anonymous about app pool warmup: Yes, this feature targets apps like SharePoint that would benefit from the initial warm-up. SharePoint doesn't make use of it in Sharepoint 2007. SharePoint versions target the OS currently in the market, so one version downlevel from WS/IIS. I haven't heard anything about issues between the two, but it's a good question to ask the SharePoint folks. blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint

Kulov: Thanks! Either Thomas Deml or I will add more about the AppPool identity change.

Anonymous about install: I hear the pain on not being able to install on anything other than c. We depend on CBS (Windows Server setup platform) for our OS setup, so this is unfortunately not something that we can fix at our layer.

Thanks all for writing!

The FTP thing is nice. I don't see anything about being able to install IIS on something other than C: though. This is a huge problem for a lot of people....

This sounds like a great thing for SharePoint - recycle my app pool and warm the cache - do you know if there are any issues with IIS7.5 and MOSS2007?

So, does this mean that there'll be more documentation of how to run multiple ftp sites WITH MEMBERSHIP AUTHENTICATION? Because one article on learn.iist.net on how to do it for the default website isn't really enough.

Just a note on PowerShell... The proper use for PowerShell commands is "cmdlets" vs "commandlets". PowerShell is a very powerful scripting and automation tool, and works great for managing IIS. Alone, it is also more appropriate to name it "the IIS PowerShell snapin". A snapin provides the provider and cmdlets extending PowerShell's functionality.
