Verify or install ASP.NET and IIS on Windows Server

The ASP.NET component also may or may not be installed by default along side IIS.  Verify or install as follows:
Windows Server
-   IIS and ASP.NET are most easily installed using the “Manage Your Server” tool.  They are both installed by adding the “Application Server” role to the server.  Add this role via “Manage Your Server” if this role is not already displayed.
-   Sometimes an IIS installation or installation of a service pack or security patch will turn off the ASP.NET extension in IIS as a security exposure.   Either select “Manage this application server” from the “Manage Your Server” tool, or start the IIS Manager tool directly from Start/Administrative Tools/IIS Manager.  Once there, expand “Internet Information Services” the “local computer” then click “Web Service Extensions” in the tree view.  This will show the installed extensions and whether they are enabled or prohibited.  Any line that starts “ASP.NET” needs to show “Allowed”.  If it shows Prohibited, select that entry and click “Allow” in the right hand window.
