AIM

To give knowledge and understanding on theorem and application of basic computer

network.

OBJECTIVES

Objectives of this lab activity are:

1. Be familiar with the computer networking especially on web server.2. Be able to use Windows 7 as a Network Operating System.

THEORY

Internet Information Services (IIS) is an extensible Web Server and FTP Server developed

by Microsoft for use with Windows NT family. IIS currently supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP,

FTPS, SMTP, and NNTP. It has been included in Windows NT family since Windows NT

4.0 but not all editions of Windows included with this feature such as Windows XP Home

edition. IIS is not a part of default feature turned on when Windows is installed. It can be

accessed through the Microsoft Management Console or Administrative Tools in the Control

Panel.

With IIS, users can setup their own website, setup a test website, or develop an intranet for

their organisation. Windows 7 Professional includes a limited feature version of IIS as it is

not a part of server class operating system. However, its limited function will still allow users

to do a lot for free from their workstation even though not as flexible as using a full serverversion. Setting up IIS on Windows 7 will be a good practise for users if they want to grow

and eventual manage servers.

The latest version of IIS is IIS 8.5 which included in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.1

with extra features like Idle worker-Process page-out, Dynamic Site Activation, Enhanced

Logging, ETW logging, and Automatic Certificate Rebind. Among all the versions, IIS also

has a express version that is IIS 7.5 Express. IIS7.5 Express is available as a standalone

freeware server and may be installed on Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and subsequent

versions of Microsoft Windows. IIS 7.5 Express only supports the HTTP and HTTPS

protocols.

DISCUSSION

1. What advantages of using IIS as a web server?- Reduce cost of deployment per user. End users of an IIS application use only a

web browser, no special software needed to be installed on their computers host

and configure a web server.

- Access to a broad audience. IIS applications work with a wide variety of browsersand operating systems, so you can easily reach a wide audience whether in your

local network or through the Internet.

- Separation of code and HTML. Unlike scripting, your code is not embedded in theHTML document, so you can separate the process of designing the applications

user interface from writing, testing, and debugging its code.

2. List down 2 other types of web server.- Jigsaw - W3C's Server. Comes from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). it

is open source and can run on various platforms like Linux, Unix, Windows, MacOS X, Free BSD and etc. Jigsaw has been written in Java and can run CGI scripts

and PHP programs.

- Sun Java System Web Server. This web server is developed by Sun Microsystemsis suited for medium and large websites. Though the server is free, it is not open

source. It can runs in Windows, Linus, and Unix platforms.

CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, we finally know about the concept and the theory of web server. After

following this assignment, we become familiar with the computer networking especially on

web server and be able to use Windows 7 as a Network Operating System.
