  • 1.  Task Server 7.1 install

    Posted Apr 12, 2011 10:20 AM

    I am installing the 7.1 task service on a remote server.  The box runs Windows 2008 Server 32 bit with SP2.  The server has IIS 7 and all IIS 6 compatibility options installed (I have seen the post stating to install IIS6 compatibility).  During the install, I get a prompt that states additional work must be performed due to IIS7, see image.  After performing the install, the remote task server will not install, see image.

    What am I missing for a 7.1 remote task server install?

    ASP.NET and Classic .NET AppPool

    Run a command prompt as administrator and type this command:
    %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set app "Default Web Site/" /applicationPool:"Classic .NET AppPool"

    I sure wouldn't mind if it was changed from a generic error message to something more specific!  Obviously it knows something is missing, why not say what's missing?  Anyhow, after you follow these steps it's ready to serve as a task server.  I'm not sure what handles when the NS knows it's ready, so you may need to grab a sandwich and come back to it.

    That worked, thank you!  I also found this:

    1.  Go to 'Server Manager' and ensure web services role is selected, which should install IIS 7

    2. The main options you need to enable when install the web services role are:

         - IIS6 compatibility tools

         - ASP.NET (under Application Development)

         - Windows Authentication

     

    3. After installing the web services role, run the following command (You MUST do this before installing task server, not after):

        Note: If your environment happens to be using a non default site then please replace ‘Default Web Site/’ with a non-default site name below...otherwise Task Server won’t work properly.

     

     %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set app "Default Web Site/" /applicationPool:"Classic .NET AppPool"

     %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd migrate config "Default Web Site/"

     

    4. Now you’re ready to install Task Server in IIS
