Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 IIS requirements

The ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 Web Adaptor (IIS) installation process on the Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems requires specific components of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to be installed. If these components, termed role services on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, are not installed, a message is displayed indicating certain IIS components are missing, with the option to allow the installation process to automatically install the required IIS components.

Depending on your organization's security policies, it may be necessary to manually install the required IIS components.
