In this short article, we’ll share some PowerShell commands that you can use to deploy and administrate your IIS server <\/strong>more efficiently.<\/p>\n

Having a web server to publish online content <\/strong>is one of the most basic requirements for almost any business, whether it’s for marketing, online sales, internal documentation <\/strong>or some other kind of service.<\/p>\n

Not long ago, we published an article explaining what IIS web server is and what it’s used for<\/a> and we also published several tutorials: How to Install an IIS Web Server<\/a>, How to Install IIS on Windows 10<\/a> and How to Install and Configure an FTP Server on Window (IIS)<\/a>.

Additionally, you’ll need to have registered for a Servers subscription<\/a> if you’re going to deploy the server on our infrastructure.<\/p>\n

You’ll also need to have administrator privileges <\/strong>on the local machine that you’re using.<\/p>\n

Before installing anything, we need to check whether any components have already been installed. To do this for IIS, run the following command:<\/p>\n

# Get-WindowsFeature -Name *IIS*<\/em><\/p>\n

This will basically produce a list of all the Windows features that have the term «IIS» in their name, with an «X» next to those that have already been installed. As you can see in the screenshot, there are two components:<\/p>\n
