Installing Internet Information Services
With some operating systems, Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed as part of the operating system. However, if you are using Windows 2003/2008 Server, you must install IIS manually before installing any of the UNICOM Intelligence Server applications.
Notes
IIS must be properly configured in order to ensure sensitive information is not exposed in response headers. See Adding interview engines to a UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer server for more information.
Refer to the Microsoft support article Internet Information Server returns IP address in HTTP header (Content-Location) for more information.

You must install the ASP.NET, ASP, and ISAPI extensions in addition to the default installation features.
Web Server > Application Development > ASP.NET
Web Server > Application Development > ASP
Web Server > Application Development > ISAPI extensions
The ISAPI extensions are required for surveys; ASP.NET and ASP are required role services for the ISAPI extensions.
UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer
In UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer, IIS is used by the Accessories, Interviewing, and Web services. If any of these computers is running Windows Server 2003 or 2008 you must install IIS before installing UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer.
Installing IIS on Windows 2003 Server
Install IIS, including the ASP.NET option on Windows 2003 Server, using the installation instructions provided with the software.
Installing IIS on Windows 2008 Server
Install IIS, including the ASP.NET option on Windows 2008 Server, using the installation instructions provided with the software.
Installing ASP.NET manually
Use the following steps if you need to install ASP.NET manually on a 64-bit system.
1 Open a command prompt and navigate to:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319.
2 Type:
aspnet_regiis.exe /i
and press Enter.
Note ASP.NET v4.0.x is for 64-bit systems only, and ASP.NET v4.0.x (32-bit) is for 32-bit systems.
Notes
Before installing UNICOM Intelligence Server, ensure that the Windows Authentication IIS feature is installed (Web Server > Security > Windows Authentication). The feature provides Single Sign On (SSO) support for UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin users.
The IIS feature IIS6 Management Compatibility does not have to be installed. Starting with UNICOM Intelligence 6.0.1, support for creating web applications has been updated to call the Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.x management API.
The Managed Pipeline Mode setting for the IIS application pool does not support Integrated mode; the Classic pipeline mode it still used in IIS 7.x.
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is a collection of extensions that enable users to edit and manage files on remote servers. If you do not need WebDAV enabled on your server, you must either disable it, or disallow unneeded HTTP methods (verbs) (due to potential security issues). WebDAV can be disabled by using the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. By default, the WebDAV service is disabled on the version of IIS deployed with UNICOM Intelligence products. If WebDAV is required on your server, use a tool UrlScan security tool to disallow the unneeded HTTP methods (verbs). Refer the Microsoft TechNet article UrlScan Security Tool for more information:
