The current version of IIS is built on a modular architecture. Modules can be added or removed individually so that only modules required for specific functionality have to be installed.
The full installation of IIS includes these standard modules
- HTTP (request-processing pipeline, errors, redirects)
- security
- content
- compression
- caching
- logging and diagnostics
The IIS Manager is an administration GUI utility. The command-line utility "AppCmd" provides a scriptable interface to the IIS configuration data.
