Problem add site to IIS6 - iis-6

I have installed IIS6 in my pc that have the OS in XP.
I have installed
- IIS6 Manager,
- IIS6 Resource Kit Tools
I can open:
Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services (IIS6) Manager ,
But I cant add new site in IIS, I can't see the wwwroots site.
In the right click in Internet Information Services I can do only connect to one other pc.
Any ideas???
Thnax.

I have installed IIS6 in my pc that have the OS in XP.
I doubt it. IIS6 is part of Windows Server 2003. It doesn't run on vanilla XP, which uses IIS5.1.
I have installed - IIS6 Manager, - IIS6 Resource Kit Tools
That's not IIS6, that's only an interface to configure IIS6 installations on this or other machines. It is of no use to you. If you want to install IIS on an XP machine, as previously mentioned in your other question, you must have a copy of the XP Pro install CD.
But I cant add new site in IIS
You won't be able to add a new site even in a working IIS on XP. As XP is not a server OS, you will be limited to running a single web site, the ‘Default Web Site’ IIS comes configured with.
(There are script hacks you can run to add more sites if you must, but you can only actually serve one site at once.)

The Resource Kit Tools only include the manager that allows you to connect to OTHER computers running IIS. You will need to install IIS directly on the machine (it needs to be XP Pro as well - not home edition). See this link - it is fairly straighforward add/remove windows components.

Lightswitch Deployment (Visual Studio 2013) Tier-3 with No Authentication

I am attempting to deploy a simple lightswitch application (HTML not Windows app) in VS 2013. I have selected to not have authentication to make the testing easier.
The IIS server and the database server are on different machines. I have followed the steps here for server setup.
However, when I go to the website after publishing, I get this error:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page.
I went to the IIS server and made sure that only Windows authentication was enabled on the application that was sent over. After reading another MS article on the 401 error, they recommended unchecking the Kernel Mode Authentication. That only prompted a username/password request, which did not work.
What am I doing wrong here? I assumed having no authentication setup in the deployment would make the website open to anyone on our network. Not the case?
Found the problem(s) with this one.
Problem #1
When I downloaded / installed Microsoft's Web Platform Installer on my IIS server, the LightSwitch application I was working on and several other seemingly random websites/apps in the IIS all had the Authentication settings disabled for every authentication type (Anon, Basic, Windows, Forms, etc.). Had to go and Enable windows authenication on several websites. Did not expect that...
Problem #2
HTML Client folder was not loaded on the machine for some reason. Removed Lightswitch app from IIS and deleted the folder. Created a package for install in VS2013 and then copied the zip file over to the IIS server. Flawless install after that... One thing to watch for it to change the default setting in IIS from 'default.htm' to 'default.aspx'.

Hyper-V Server Core Guest OS Install

I am new to Hyper-V and Server Core but I am stumped as to how to install a guest OS from an ISO using only PowerShell.
I have downloaded the Hyper-V Server ISO and installed it on my server. It only installs Server Core and does not give me the option for a full GUI option. I configured its network settings, etc and all looks ok. So Server Core installed properly and Hyper-V feature is enabled. I can use PowerShell to create a VM with VHDX and link my Guest OS ISO to it. When I start the VM there is no console UI to install the OS.
How are you supposed to install a guest OS with no console interface to setup the OS?
Note, there is no option under this configuration to enable the OS GUI as some posts have suggested.
First, please don't confuse "Server Core" with "Hyper-V Server". "Server Core" is an installation mode of Windows. Among other things, it can be converted to GUI mode, which is why people keep telling you to just turn the GUI on. Hyper-V Server looks like Server Core but it is not Server Core.
For your actual problem, you're not going to find a simple out-of-the-box solution. You could work up a complete unattended installation process. You could set up a Windows Deployment Services server and have it install via PXE boot. I think some of the third-party Hyper-V management solutions allow you to connect to the console of a VM from within the local Hyper-V Server.
Hyper-V Server was designed with headless operation in mind. It was expected that you would use it to configure and perform maintenance on the management operating system and, if desired, the virtual machines as containers. The guest operating systems themselves were not really meant to be managed from within Hyper-V Server. What it's expected that you'll do is use a full GUI, whether another copy of Windows Server or a Windows desktop operating system running Remote Server Administration Tools to remotely connect to Hyper-V Server and manage its VMs.

Hosting both WCF server and client in a same Windows 8.1 machine does not work

I have two web based application. One of them is a WCF server application and the other is a client application and consume first application services.
When they are hosted in a Windows 8 machine's IIS they work good. But when they are hosted in Windows 8.1 they do not work. Client application shows a timeout error message.
Strange point is when client application in Windows 8 connects to server application in Windows 8.1 it works with no problem. If I connect Windows 8.1 client application of Windows 8 server application it works too.
Initially I guessed it may be related to IPv6 so tried to test several IP addresses like localhost, [::1] and many others. But nothing changed.
Now I guess Windows 8.1 has forbidden self WCF hosting (Client and Server in same machine). But have now idea how can I solve problem.
If I use WCFTesetClient in Windows 8 machine to test Windows 8 itself or Windows 8.1, both of them works.
I'm using WSHttpBinding. Both applications are ASP.NET MVC web applications hosted in IIS.
UPDATE:
Why both server and client are on same machine? Because this is a dev machine. In operational environment server and client are on separate machines.

Use WebDav in Sharepoint 2010

I have done some research, based on the problem that my single server gives me when I try to open a document library in windows explorer from the ribbon menu item "Open in Windows Explorer".
The same problem occurs when I try to map sharepoint to a folder in windows explorer too.
The error is:
Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer
From the net, suggestions are:
(Since I'm trying this operation from server itself) enable Desktop Experience
Install the KB907306 update.
Enable IIS webDav service (Some say, it's just for additional functions from the MS Whitepaper)
(Edit) Started webClient service
I've already done them. Nothing changed. Proper machine restart and iis too have done.
Need some serious advice.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if we are having exactly the same problem BUT I have had similar problem while accessing SP via Windows Explorer in Windows Server 2k8.
What I done to fix it is following:
Install new server feature called Desktop Experience (it comes with WebDAV redirector, which allows you to connect to WebDAV) - Note: Server will need to be restarted.
In Services start WebClient service (go to properties and make sure it starts automatically)
You will now be able to access your sharepoint via entering network path such as \sharepointhost\application\myawesomeapplication\ etc.
Hope that helps.
If you are trying to do this from the server, test it from a server which is not on the SharePoint farm (or better yet, a client machine). Ensure all of your testing is done from machines which are not on the farm.
Do NOT enable the IIS WebDAV service, as SharePoint provides its own WebDAV service and the IIS one overrides it in the pipeline. Enabling this service is a sure path to breaking WebDAV.
If you have SSL enabled, you may be in for a rough time getting it to work. Start by understanding how to use the 'net use' command, and the #SSL suffix.
make sure your webdav is installed as feature
make the following registry fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841215) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
Add a new DWORD "BasicAuthLevel" and change this to "2"
Restart your machine (and make sure it is enabled in IIS)
Make sure that WebClient windows service is running in the server. This shall appear in client operating systems like Windows 7, windows 8 however, on the server operating systems like Windows Server 2008, it shall be installed by enabling the server feature "Desktop experience" using Server Manager
This issue nearly killed me. I found that I was using a 64 bit version of my browser and that is'nt supported. I changed over to the 32 bit and it works.

WCF Self Hosted App on 64bit Windows Server

I have a windows application that acts as a WCF Service that I developed on a 32bit Windows Server 2008 box. I have tested the application and everything works fine when running it from my development machine, as well as from my 32bit workstation. However, when attempting to run the application on a 64bit Windows 2008 Server, the application does not run, and a Windows Error Report is generated stating that the application stopped working. I have attempted to build the application on my 32bit Development Workstation, targeting both x86 and x64, to no avail. The only time I can get the application to run is if I comment out the code that starts the WCF Service. So my question is, do I need to dev and/or build this application on a 64bit workstation to allow the application to run on a 64bit machine?
Ok, I figured it out, nevermind...needed to run the app as admin on that server...
