inetinfo.exe on Windows 2008

#1 08-07-2008, 03:43 PM

Hi,

Can you please let me know where is inetinfo.exe file on Windows 2008
OS?
This process is present on Windows 2003 machine. However, there is no
process running on Windows 2008. Web Server (IIS) depends on WAS,
apphostsvc and w3svc.

Which is dedicated process for IIS running in Windows 2008 (similar
to
inetinfo,exe on Windows 2003) ?

Thanks in advance,
PSI

There is no dedicated process for IIS. All user request processing
happens in w3wp.exe which belong to Application Pools.

inetinfo.exe is only used to host the metabase, which is legacy
configuration and is not installed by default.

Thus, asking for inetinfo.exe and associating it as a requirement for
IIS is not exactly right.

What is your actual question?

I just wanted to know on Windows 2008 machine if IIS is installed or
not. How do I do that? Is ther any registry key created or a file is
copied or a service is running (similar to inetinfo on windows 2003)?

Thanks for your feedback,

PSI
