Hi, Why can't I see "Add or remove programs" in Control panel of my Win 08 serverr below?Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

Add Remove has been renamed, Click on "Uninstall a program" or type "appwiz.cpl" in the command prompt or click start and type "appwiz.cpl"       Kind Regards Tim (Canberra)

You have an option in front of you ! In the control panel, Click on Programs (Uninstall a program, Get programs, Turn Windows features on or off) OR On the right top corner of Control Panel just below Search Control Panel, View by: Category, click drop down and select Small Icons, and you will see Programs and Features OR Use Run -> appwiz.cpl <Enter Key> to open up add/remove programsI do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

I don't know why it does take me to this when I've clicked "Turn windows feature on or off". How to "Add/Remove Windows Components"?Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

Hi, In Windows Server 2008 R2, you no longer use the Add/Remove Windows Components option to add features. Heres a look at the new way to add features in Windows Server 2008 R2. Now we use server manager to add roles or features on your server, for this issue, please follow the below steps: 1.In the server manager, click Roles . 2.Click Add Roles. 3. Then click Next and so on. Here is a similar thread for you, please refer to it for more information: Add/Remove Windows Components in Server 2008 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winservergen/thread/57918ea4-58c3-4531-a03d-14a7b0cf999a Hope this helps.

Thanks. If I proceed with "Add roles" I then get this Inside that, how to "Add/Remove Windows Components" as asked?Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min

What do you want to add roles or features ? Roles and features are both different. E.G. Roles include AD DS, DHCP Server etc as you can see in snapshot in your post. Features include : Telnet Client, Group Policy Management Etc... I do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Sorry, I understand this correctly. Are you trying to install or remove IIS from Server? If yes, please follow the steps below Open Up Server Manager -> Roles -> Remove Roles -> Un-check Web Server (IIS) and follow the wizard. To remove an application, pls see article Remove an Application (IIS 7) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771205(v=ws.10)I do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Sorry, no, I want to do these steps http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/a4a4d339-4009-4fb7-b842-ca2ba79f13f0.aspx in my Win 08 server Many Thanks & Best Regards, Hua Min the article which you linked talks about Uninstalling and installing IIS to fix the issue and that article is applicable for IIS6. As WS 2008/R2 have IIS7, the procedure will be different. If you would like to simply Uninstall and then re-install IIS, pls follow the steps suggested in my previous post. OR, it's better you post your question in IIS forum for definitive answers. http://forums.iis.net/1041.aspx I do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Hi HuaMin, I can see you have already installed the IIS role in you server. So you are good to go. From windows server 2008 the method for installing the services has been changed.
