Windows Server 2008 Iis Configuration Pdf Reader

Oct 26, 2007. Click Start->All Programs ->Administrative Tools ->Server Manager. In the Server Manager window, scroll down to Roles Summary, and then click Add Roles. Select Web Server (IIS) on the Select Server Roles page. Select the IIS services to be installed on the Select Role Services page. Add any required role services.

I have a Windows SBS 2011 server with raid drives. The person who set it up created 3 volumes on the raid array with the C drive partitioned with 120GB, the D drvie partitioned with 900GB and the X drive partitioned with 40GB. There is 60GB left over, but it's at the end. I am almost out of space on the C drive and need to expand it, but as we probably all know, I can't extend a partition that doesn't have the free space to the right of that partition. I downloaded AOMEI Partition Assistant Lite to allow me to use that free space, but I am not sure how to use the software to do this and I don't want to lose data. Any thoughts on how to get the 60GB extended onto my C drive?

I am almost out of space on the C drive and need to expand it This is a popular misconception. The BETTER solution is to understand what is taking up space and move inappropriate things off the C: drive Have you checked your VSS usage? Have you checked your exchange databases? Are they on C:? Have you checked your Exchange Logs? Are the on C:? Have you checked the WSUS data?

Have you checked other SQL databases, like SBS Monitoring, are they on C:? Have you checked your IIS Logs and pruned/archived them?

Have you moved the pagefile off the C: drive (mostly)? Have you checked your Antivirus solution to ensure it's not storing data on c:? Have you checked your backup software to ensure it's not creating catalogs on C:?

I agree with Lee. If you haven't been installing any new software or roles on the server, the C drive should not continually be using up space inadvertently. SBS is an animal in itself and databases should be stored on another drive (other than C) - logs as well.

WSUS can take up a ton of space - especially if it is not cleaned up frequently. Exchange is another hog because users absolutely love mass emails to the entire company with large attachments (they haven't figured out that's what a file server is for). What about VSS usage are you referring? Do you mean backing up files to the C drive? We have a NAS to backup to. Exchange Databases are on the D drive Exchange Logs are on the D drive.

WSUS data is on its own partition. SBSMonitoring is on and taking up about 11GB or 12GB of storage on the C drive. I have not checked IIS logs I have not moved the pagefile off the C drive. I haven't checked A/V (Symantec EndPoint). I haven't checked Backup Exec to see if if's creating catalogs. I am not sure I can free up enough space by cleaning some things up on the drive and I have 60GB unused, so I would love to create a cushion. I am open to any recommendations to change things on the C drive so that things are cleaner and run more efficiently, but I would like to know how I can use at least part of the 60GB to keep things for becoming a problem down the road.

It doesn't become a problem when things are setup appropriately. Have you used Treesize or WindirStat to determine WHAT is taking up space on the drive? Free Criminal Law Books. If your server has 16 GB of RAM, your page file is likely taking up 16 GB. And the SBS Monitoring Database is likely taking up another 11-12. And even if you moved the WSUS updates, the DATABASE is frequently left on the C: drive and can get HUGE. That could be another 10-15 GB.

Right there you have 30-40 GB - 25-33% of your disk space. And Backup Exec and SEP are both horrible programs that can use tons of space with updates and catalogs. And IIS is used for WSUS distribution and OWA - this could be HUGE, depending on server age and user count. You cannot easily extend space to the tail end of the disk without a backup and restore or some MAJOR work moving partitions around, most likely using EXPENSIVE third party software that will likely take your server offline for hours to complete. The wiser choice is an appropriate reconfiguration and STEP 1 should be finding out WHAT is taking up the space. I have 32GB on the server and the pagefile is 32GB. I can move this to the D drive, but should I make the initial size 48GB (1.5 x RAM)?

What should max size be? Since the pagefile doesn't need fault tolerance, is it always recommended to move it off the OS partition? I know the recommended setup for servers used to be to have a 3 channel RAID card and have the OS on RAID1, the Logs on another RAID1, and the data on RAID5 or greater. How is it recommended now if your building a new server so that everything is as fast as possible? Also, SBSMonitoring is about 12GB or 13GB. Is this typical? Seems really large.

How can I get that down in size? You're just reminding me to update / recreate my low disk boot drive web page (originally written for 2003). I WOULD set the pagefile to 48 GB. This is in line with the document here on page file settings: If you want a FULL memory dump, it MUST be on the C: drive.

In nearly 20 years as an IT Pro and working with Windows NT based operating systems since NT 4 in 1996, I don't think I've EVER needed a full memory dump or been asked to supply one - so I don't mind that I can't get one if I move it off C: (I usually set a 1 GB pagefile to ensure I can get minidumps and such, but that's it - the rest I move to another partition). In IDEAL server setups (which rarely happens), I put non-essential things on their own drive - for example, a single, NON-RAID SSD (if I want speed) or 7.2K RPM drive if speed is not too much of a concern. Things like VSS, Pagefile, IIS Logs, WSUS data.

That's a broad recommendation and the actual configuration really depends on what you're doing with the server and what your budget allows. If you have 2x146 GB drives for C:, it's fine to mirror them and do nothing else with them. If you're using 300 GB or larger, then I would put other, less critical services on a partition on the same set of physical disks. Basically, you need to look at the services you run and their disk usage. It's no problem to run an entire server off one set of physical disks IF the disk is not hit often. Most servers will have SOMETHING that hits the disk often though - those I/O intensive jobs need to be on a RAID that's appropriate. Best speed, in general, is going to come from a RAID 10/0+1, but that's also the most expensive.

Honestly, I've had so many issues with stripped RAID I REALLY try not to use it anymore. I'd rather have fast disk and several RAID 1 sets. For the SBS Monitoring database, see: And move it off C. I followed the blog for SBS monitoring, but I am not seeing the same thing on a SBS 2011 server.

If I open Server Management consle, I can't navigate to 'Monitoring and Reporting' as I don't see it. I ended up following the instuctions at: to get rid of the old database and use a new one.

Not sure if this will keep any existing reporting I had setup or not, but I did keep the old database. Can you tell me how to get to 'Monitoring and Reporting' on an SBS 2011 server? I am now a little more worried about moving the pagefile off of the C drive as I don't want to limit my ability to get a full memory dump, even though I have never needed to and I have working on Windows Servers since the NT days. Just nice to know I can if I need to. This still brings me back to wanting to take my 120GB partition and extend it to 180GB using the unused 60GB available. Any thoughts using AOMEI Partition Assistant Lite?

I have never used this program before, but it's free and sounds like it is supposed to do the job. Enigma Full Album Free Download. Otherwise, any recommendations on partition software for a Windows SBS 2011 server?
