Insert your Windows 2003 Server cd and click on Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove programs and then click on Add/Remove Windows components. Highlight Application Server by clicking on it, and then click on the Details button. this will bring the application server window up make sure the following items are selected: Application Server Console ASP.NET Enable network COM+ access Internet Information Services (IIS) when done click on Internet Information Services (IIS) to highlight it and then click on the details button, in the window that appears make sure to select the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Server Extensions Then scroll down to World Wide Web Service and click on it to highlight it, then click on the details button make sure to select the WebDAV Publishing option and click on ok. click ok again, then ok, then next to start copying files from the cd. once done, click on Finish and that's it you are done. at this point you can start the IIS Manager (All Programs/Administrative tools/Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager as you can see here none of the SMS extensions are listed and also .NET v2 is also not installed. So let's download it and install it. Click here to download the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable and once done, install it. accept the license aggreement to continue once .NET 2 is installed you can verify this by refreshing the IIS manager make sure your extensions are set to allow for the ones in the screenshot below:- ok now you are done you can now install SMS 2003 cheers anyweb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
