A server running a member of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family supports application server functionality, with Microsoft ASP.NET as an option that you can enable when configuring the application server role. To deploy ASP.NET Web a 18218t1924s pplications to a production server, you must be sure to enable the ASP.NET and Internet Information Services (IIS) roles on the production server before you distribute the application.
Note If you want to install ASP.NET on a domain controller, there are special steps you must take to make the installation work properly. For more information, see article 315158, "ASP.NET Does Not Work with the Default ASPNET Account on a Domain Controller," in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
