Abstract
Internet Information Services (IIS) consists of several components, including an FTP, Web, and SMTP server. Each offers a service creation wizard that allows Administrators to create additional virtual servers to their IIS server. Microsoft's IIS server is a multi-protocol Internet services server. The wizards provided with Windows 2000 go a long way toward reducing the tedious configuration process of setting up these services. The FTP Server service can be configured to respond to any installed IP address on any port and can be given defined, maximum rights. The Web Server service also allows the selection of IP address and port, and includes provisions for security through both maximum rights assignment and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Virtual directories may be created to allow the abstraction of the relationship between descendant directories and their physical location. The SMTP Server service allows the creation of SMTP mail servers that respond to different IP addresses for different domains. Using virtual SMTP domains, one can create alias SMTP domain names, or can allow a Windows 2000 server to act on behalf of other, remote domains.
