In my previous
article, we have learned how to create and manage Windows Virtual Machine in the Azure Portal.
In this article, we will see how to set up IIS on Windows Virtual Machine.
Prerequisites
- Microsoft Azure Subscription (MSDN subscribers or sign up for a one-month free trial).
To configure IIS on your Azure virtual machine, follow the steps below.
Step 1
Go to your Virtual machine and start the Server Manager as shown in below screen.
Step 2
Select Add roles and features option from the welcome screen.
Step 3
Click on Next from the Add roles and features Wizard.
Step 4
Choose Role-based or feature-based installation to configure a single server and click on Next.
Step 5
From Server Selection option, click on Select a server from the server pool and click on Next.
Step 6
In server roles please choose Web Server(IIS) and click on Next.
Step 7
From the Add roles and features wizard pop up, check Include Management tools and click on Add Features.
Step 8
From the Features option for now just click on Next (if you have any Prerequisites to install you can select from the Features list).
Step 9
From the Web Server role (IIS) just click on Next.
Step 10
From Role Services choose IIS 6 management compatibility and click on Next.
Step 11
Click on Install and wait for the Installation and setup.
Step 12
Once you received the Installation Succeeded message, click on close.
That's it, to test the IIS installation, go to Server Manager, right click on Server name and open IIS manager.
Select Default Web Site and click on Browse, It will open the http://localhost on the port no: 80.
You can see the default HTML page is running as shown in below screen.
I hope this will help you while you set up your first Windows Virtual Machine.
Stay tuned for more articles on Azure, share with your friends if you find this helpful. I'd love to hear your feedback.

I tried doing the above, but I'm now looking at a DOS\command windows in my RDP session. Am I doing it wrong?
