Internet Information Services (IIS)

This has been one big question for all the .net developers ….. (at least for web developers)

Questions:

1.       How many versions of IIS do we have?

2.       What are the current versions used?

3.       Which version was released with Which Windows OS and when?

And the list goes on and on….

OK.. to answer all these questions I am trying connect the dots and put them under one roof…

Hope the below list of details help us understand the IIS version

I am not touching IIS 5 and will be only concentrating on version 6 and above.

·    IIS 6 (Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP 64 bit only)

·    IIS 7 (Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista)

·    IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7)

·    IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8)
