We are going to assume, for most tasks in this chapter, that the role for IIS is already installed on the web server. This role is specifically called Web Server (IIS) in the list of roles, and there are numerous additional features that we can add to IIS. For all of our recipes, we only need the defaults added, the ones that are selected automatically when installing the role. That role installation is the only thing a Windows Server 2016 box needs in order to serve up web pages to users, other than a little bit of knowledge of how to get the site doing what you want it to do. In order to get the role installed properly, make sure to stop by the Installing the Web Server role with PowerShell recipe in order to put that component into place. Let's get familiar with some of the common tasks in IIS.
