DESCRIPTION
When your website slows to a crawl, Exchange stops sending internet mail, or SharePoint goes down, it doesn't matter if your business card says "IIS Administrator." You have to get things working again. Fast. IIS is the fundamental communication gateway for many Microsoft servers as well as the primary technology for publishing web sites. Knowing how to manage IIS effectively can mean the difference between a successful business solution and a vacant parking lot.
Learn Windows IIS in a Month of Lunches is an innovative tutorial designed for busy administrators. Even if you have no prior exposure to IIS, you can follow the crisp explanations, examples, and exercises in this concise, easy-to-read book. Just set aside one hour a day—lunchtime would be perfect—for a month, and you'll be managing, securing, and automating IIS administrative tasks faster than you thought possible. You start with IIS fundamentals, like navigating the management tools and configuring the environment. Then, you'll systematically explore, web farm design and implementation, managing multiple web sites with high availability, and solid security practices that every administrator should know.
And did you know that Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, System Center, and Lync all need IIS to work properly? This book will teach you what you need to know about IIS to keep those servers running smoothly—and what to do when they aren't.

- 24 bite-sized lessons with practice examples

- IIS for Microsoft Exchange or SharePoint, System Center, and Lync
