Verify whether the IIS ServerSideIncludes role service is installed, and install it, if needed.
Procedure
1. Click Start and select All Programs > Administrative Tools > Server Manager.
2. Expand Server Manager (<server name>) and expand Roles.
3. Click Web Server (IIS).
4. Scroll down to Role Services.
5. Locate IIS ServerSideIncludes and verify that the role service is installed.
6. If the role service is not installed, click Add Role Services and add the IIS ServerSideIncludes role
service.
Verify the ISAPI Extensions
The ISAPI Extensions role provides support for dynamic Web content development. You must verify that
the role service is installed, and install it if needed.
Procedure
1. Click Start and select All Programs > Administrative Tools > Server Manager.
2. Expand Server Manager (<server name>) and expand Roles.
3. Click Web Server (IIS).
4. Scroll to Role Services.
5. Locate ISAPI Extensions and verify that the role service is installed.
6. If the role service is not installed, click Add Role Services and add the ISAPI Extensions role service.
Install the .NET Framework
To support library and language interoperability, the Web server must have the required versions of the
.NET Framework installed.
VCM 5.6 requires the .NET 3.5.1 Framework. If you use Package Studio, the VCM Collector must have
.NET 3.5.1 installed. If you use Package Manager, the VCM Collector must have .NET 3.5.1 or .NET 4.0
installed.
Determine the installed version of the .NET Framework. If one of the .NET Framework versions is
missing, install the version from the Microsoft download Web site.
Procedure
1. Click Start and select All Programs > Administrative Tools > Server Manager.
2. Click Features.
3. Verify that .NET Framework 3.5.1 appears in the feature summary.
4. If .NET Framework 3.5.1 does not appear, under Features select Add Features and select .NET 3.5.1.
Verify the Authentication Settings
The Windows machine that hosts the Web components must be running Internet Information Services
(IIS) 7.5. IIS is installed when you install Windows Server 2008 R2.
Verify that the IIS 7.5 default Web site has the correct settings.
