    steps to setup iis 7.5 smtp and ftp ~~ win 2008 server R2 web edition

    Hello,

    I'm trying to get my R2 dedicated server
    up and running a.s.a.p. .... i've written
    an ASP.NET MVC v1.0 application
    that will be sending e-mails (no spam)
    and so i need my own SMTP server
    for that purpose.

    Rather than use some third party
    server, I would prefer to first give
    Microsoft's SMTP server a try ...

    This, not much at all, is what I have
    been told to date for iis 7:

    IIS7 removed the SMTP fuctionality, but you can add
    IIS6 compatibility role through the role management tool.
    and have them both reside happily on the same server.

    This will allow you to configure your standard components
    through IIS7, and SMTP through IIS6 administration.

    It appears that iis 7.5 is possibly substantially different
    from iis 7 such that the above advice is no longer valid.

    What needs to be done to have features like SMTP,
    POP, and FTP that once upon a time were part of
    iis but now appear to have been sent into exile?

    Please advise.

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Gerry (Lowry)

    In Server Manager you can add a new feature and find SMTP Server from that wizard. Then you can see the old IIS 6 Manager added in Administrative Tools at Start menu.

     I do not think that that is available in iis 7.5 on Win 2008 Web Server R2

    I have only     IIS    and    DNS   as role choices.

    Gerry, I am not talking about "adding a role in Server Manager". Please "add a feature in Server Manager".

    follow up:

    found this useful link:

    http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/310/what-is-new-for-microsoft-and-ftp-75/

    quote (edited):

    ... brand-new FTP service that is available as a separate download for Windows Server® 2008 ... robust, secure solution for FTP in a Windows environment. ... written specifically for Windows Server 2008 ... enables Web authors to publish content more easily and securely than before, and offers both Web administrators and hosters better integration, management, authentication and logging features.

    ... there are two FTP services available for IIS 7.0:

    • The new Microsoft FTP service for IIS 7.0 is provided as a download from the Web for Windows Server 2008.
    • The other FTP service ships on the Windows Vista™ and Windows Server 2008 DVD. ( .. essentially the same FTP service from IIS 6.0.)

    There are two separate downloadable packages for the new FTP server; you will need to download the appropriate package for your version of Windows Server 2008:
