IIS Configuration

X360 Developer Tool provide a package to configure Internet Information Service on your machine. This package will activate certain features on your machine. The package is not installed using a standard package manager, hence the verification is simply done by verifying the installed IIS version from the system registry.

The activation of features usually takes long time.

You can also activate all the features using a script shipped with the tool:

  • Start Powershell as an administrator

  • Go to the Installed Location (typically C:\Program Files\Haufe\HX360\scripts)

  • Run provision-iis.ps1 file

OR

You can manually activate all features using following steps:

  • Open Windows features by typing Turn Windows features on or off in Windows quick search

  • Activate Internet Information Service and MSMQ features.

  • Click on OK and wait for the configuration to finish.

  • Press Ctrl + R and type inetmgr, press enter

  • You should see the IIS Manager window

⚡ IMPORTANT ⚡
Windows Updates might change some of these settings. Make sure after an Windows Update all the required settings are intact.
⚡ IMPORTANT ⚡
Dependencies section will not be able to verify all IIS features on your machine. Even though the card is highlighted in green, some features might still be missing. You can verify this from Windows features list.

IIS-Security Script

Located in the IIS box in the Dependencies page, there is a sub-item IIS-Security. This is a script that restricts external access to the IIS. Once this script is executed, only the local web sites can access the IIS.

This is an important security measure to prevent unauthorized access to the IIS. However, it is optional. If you have deliberately opened the IIS to external access, and maintain its security by any other means, you can skip this step.
