Installing IIS

Before you can use IIS, you must install it onto your host. Like other roles/features of Windows Server 2016 covered in this book, you install IIS by using the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet. Once you have installed the web server, you take a look at the host after the installation is complete.

You run this recipe on SRV1, a member server running Windows Server 2016. This server is a server in the Reskit.Org domain.

How to do it...

  1. Open a PowerShell console and install the Web-Server and all sub-features:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server `                         -IncludeAllSubFeature `                         -IncludeManagementTools
  1. See what web related features are installed on SRV1:
Get-WindowsFeature -Name Web* | Where-Object Installed
  1. Check the WebAdministration module and discover how many commands are in the module:
Get-Module -Name WebAdministration -ListAvailable
      Get-Command -Module webadministration |      Measure-Object |      Select-Object count...
