Enabling ASP.NET services By default, IIS is installed on Windows Server 2003 in a secure mode that prohibits ASP.NET. This means that only static pages can be served. To enable ASP.NET, do the following:
From the Start menu, click Administrative Tools and then choose the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Select Web Service Extensions in the left pane.
In the right pane, you should see a list of allowed and prohibited Web service extensions.
Click “ASP.NET v2.0.50727” in the right pane, then click Allow to enable ASP.NET services.
Enabling ActiveX controls and plug-ins You might also need to enable running and scripting ActiveX controls and plug-ins. To enable ActiveX controls and plug-ins:
Open Internet Explorer.
Select Internet Options from the Tools menu.
On the Security tab, select the Internet zone and click the Custom Level button.
Under the “ActiveX controls and plug-ins” settings, change the “Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins” and the “Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting” settings to Enable.
