Basic install Internet Information Services (IIS)
Internet Information Services (IIS) is a Microsoft utility developed and maintained by the Microsoft Corporation. All information here is obtained from Microsoft documentation. The Bentley SELECTserver application is a web application that functions inside of the IIS utility and this utility must be functional before the SELECTServer application is installed. The SELECTserver application only needs some basic IIS settings. This will cover only the basic settings. If you feel this information is a bit overwhelming you should consider taking advantage of the SELECTServer On-line option offered by Bentley Systems.

Before you begin please ensure that you have administrative usage rights on the server where you plan to install IIS7. By default, you do not have administrative user rights if you are logged on as a user other than as the built-in administrator, even if you were added to the local Administrators group on the computer (this is a new security feature in Windows Server 2008 called Local User Administrator).
It would be a redundant effort to rewrite all of the information from Microsoft so the link to their directions is below.

I do want to make a point with the images below of the choices I used for my ROLE SERVICES. These configurations allow me normal operations with my SELECTServer installation. I would recommend rebooting after an IIS installation. I have seen situations where parts of the operating system (like ASPNET) are unaware of the existence of the IIS and the two utilities fail to “connect”. A simple reboot allows the server configurations to propagate completely through the server and for the utilities to communicate properly. If the IIS utility had been previously installed and you were just installing the SELECTServer application a reboot would not be necessary. Remember the SELECTserver prerequisites requires a functional IIS for proper operation
