Hello, When I open IIS Manager (MMC) - it takes a while to open and then it opens and it is blank. There is no information in there. How can I get this fixed? P.S: Windows Server 2003 standard, SP2

Try to re-install the IIS Manager and see if the problem is solved.

Uninstalled IIS 6.0, restarted, installed - picture is the same. Uninstalled IIS 6.0, uninstalled SP2, restarted, installed IIS...now I can see application pools and web sites...but why it is IIS 5.0 ? How I can upgrade it to IIS 6.0 ? Just install SP2 back?

Try to re-install SP2 and then re-install IIS 6.0 and check if the problem is persisting.

when SP2 is installed and I'am trying to reinstall IIS, it install IIS 5.0 ... may be I need Windows Server 2003 cd with SP2 ? In windows server 2003 should be IIS 6.0 if right understand, but whre it takes IIS 5.0 ?????? :(

I saw on the internet that SP1 is enough to install the IIS 6.0. Check these links, they are about how to install the IIS 6.0: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737523(WS.10).aspx http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=80a1b6e6-829e-49b7-8c02-333d9c148e69&DisplayLang=en If the problem is persisting, tell me and I will see another way to proceed with the install.

I know how to install IIS. When I installing it from original Windows Server 2003 cd (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737523(WS.10).aspx) it is IIS 5.0 I need istall IIS 6.0. How I can do this? Should I order new cd with sp1/sp2, or I can download IIS 6.0 from internet?

You can not download IIS 6.0 from Internet. IIS 6.0 only comes with windows server 2003 operating systems. The solution for you problem is to order a new Microsoft Windows Server 2003 install CD that allows you to install the IIS 6.0. Only IIS 6.0 Resource Kit is able to download from the internet.

Tryed to install from Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2 cd...also show me that it is IIS V5.0 :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( I don't understand...I read from internet that it is not possible....WTF???

I never faced a problem like that. I tried now to install the IIS 6.0 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 it was OK. uninstall your current IIS version and try to install all the updates for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. I think it will update your current version of IIS and give you the possibility to install the IIS 6.0. Do this and tell me if all is OK or the problem is persisting.

Tryed different combinations. Installed updates, installed IIS 6 - reinstalled, reinstalled sp2...nothink does not help. The problem is persisting.

Try to find another CD of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Operating System install which you are sure that it allows the install the IIS 6.0 and re-install your server. This is the only solution for your problem.

Is your problem solved? Best regards.

it is DC controller :( so I does not want to reinstall it.

OK, try to backup your system state (use start>run>ntbackup) [If you have other folders to backup don't hesit to backup them]. Create a new virtual machine and install the OS with the use of a new CD. Check if the IIS 6.0 is able to install and then restore the performed backup on this virtual machine and check if all is OK virtually. If all is OK, then re-install your domain controller OS, restore your performed backup and install IIS 6.0. This is how you should proceed. This is a link to download Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 a software that will allow you to create a virtual machine and check virtually what you want: http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?FamilyID=04d26402-3199-48a3-afa2-2dc0b40a73b6&displaylang=en Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

OK, I will try, but system state take all registry settings. So I think that it is not good idea.

It is true but try it to make sure that it is not a good idea. Best regards.

:( after system state restore - installed IIS and it is V5.0 :( Problem solved as: Installed new 2003 added to domain and transfered all AD roles to new server, installed IIS and removed old computer from domain.
