Its painful to maintain this webserver for production environment because almost all other webservers are easier when it comes to security issues.
IIS might have lots of security issues but it is always better to know about this Microsft crap, IIS's GUI interface is easy to configure and you dont have to download anything extra
if you are using Windows as Operating System (iam not talking about Win 98 or older OS though).
Installing and configuring IIS
Place the Operating System CD into the CD Drive.
Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
Select Add/Remove Windows Components from the Add Remove Programs Window
Select Application Server from the Windows Components. Click the details options to select more components inside the Application Server module
Select Internet Information Services within the Application Server.
Click the details options to select more components inside the IIS module. Select World Wide Web Service and Internet Information Services Manager. Yo umay like to FTP Service if you wan to set up a FTP Server.
Select the world wide web services and for more details. Select Active Server Pages and WWW Service
Click Ok to install the IIS Webserver.
You can now test your Webserver by opening your internet browser.
Type http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 is the address bar of your browser. If you get a "Under Construction Page" then your IIS is properly installed in the system.
You can configure your IIS by starting IIS Manager.
Opening Internet Information Services Manager : Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open text box, type inetmgr. IIS Manager appears.
