IIS 10 Support

[Van]

Hello Team, can someone please confirm if the IIS 10 is supported on windows 2012?

Hello Van,

The Windows 2012 supports IIS version 8.0 very well but not sure about the version 10..

Though, there is no official statement available about IIS 10 and Windows Server 2012, but as both are the Microsoft latest products so we can safely assume it’s supported on Windows Server 2012.

According to the official site of Microsoft, IIS 10 is supported on the following operating systems:

Windows 10, Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for sharing the information and even I got it confirmed by one of my engineer friend.. I would really appreciate if someone could share what's new in the IIS 10? :-)

Hello Van,

I have heard the IIS team added a second module with direct access to the underlaying 'Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager' object. The new alternative PowerShell module added is called IISAdministration PowerShell Cmdlets.

Also thanks to Jeremyc for confirming that it is supported on Windows Server 2012 R2 as I wan't really sure about the information I had.

Nice question Van and thanks Tristian for the spot-on response. Along with a new IISAdministration PowerShell module, IIS 10 has several interesting features, such as:

• Supports HTTP/2
• Wildcard Host Header
• Environment Variables for Applications Pools
• HTTP status code 308 supp0rt
• Removal of server header
• Failed Request Tracing
• And New cipher suites

Stay tuned… Soon we’re coming with an article post that will address each feature of IIS 10 with more details.

Hello Jeremy,
Thank you to you and Tristian for sharing the updates with all of us. It is really good to know that HTTP/2 is supported on IIS 10 and I wanted to know how to enable the HTTP/2 for IIS on windows 10??

It's by default enabled so you need not worry about it...

Jeremy, you are a star thank you for clarifying my doubt and answering quickly, that was a dumb question by me though :P
