This document outlines the steps to build an IIS 6 web server on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. This build is for a standalone (non-domain) system.

This document is organized in the following sections:

• Windows Installation
• System Configuration
• IIS Web Server Installation and Configuration
• Troubleshooting
• Security Overview

I. Windows Installation

Insert Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition CD and reboot server. If necessary, make sure bios is set to boot from CD. Wait about a minute for initial Windows Installer to load.

Press Enter to begin installation

Press F8 to accept License Agreement

On the following screen press C to create a new partition.

Enter the size you wish for your C drive. For a typical web server 12 gigs should be good. We will format the rest of the disk with additional partitions later.

Press Enter to begin installing on this partition

Select NTFS filesystem and press Enter

The partition will be formatted and the first phase of windows files will be installed. This may take approx 10 to 30 minutes depending on the system.

When finished system will reboot
