TechNet Virtual Lab: Installation and the New Modular Architecture walks the user through examining the roles installed on an IIS 7 server and gives the user the opportunity to install additional server roles.
This 45 minute Virtual Lab uses Server manager and Internet Information Services manager to walk the user through the process of installing a service on IIS. The lab uses the Shared Hosting Guidelines Roles Service as the example for this process.
The information presented in Installation and the New Modular Architecture helps the IIS administrator understand the advanced roles concepts and demonstrates the ease of use that the modular architecture of IIS 7 provides for configuring web servers in specific roles.
TIP: For users planning on deploying on Windows Server 2008, the lab has an optional component that walks the user through installing IIS 7 on a Server Core installation of Windows Server.
