Microsoft's Web Platform Installer includes an item titled:

Recommended Server Configuration for Web Hosting Providers

This sounds handy, but I'm not about to install it without knowing what sort of configuration changes it makes. Could someone explain or provide a link to what bits this flips? My google-fu is usually strong, but I've not been able to find much about it.

    In WebPI itself -- all you have to do is ask it to install something and it will show you all the products and features that will be installed along with it.
