WINDOWS SERVER 2012 is the latest incarnation of Microsoft’s successful server platform. Included is a new version of IIS, now in its eighth incarnation. IIS isn’t the revolutionary change in architecture that IIS was. However it offers much new functionality, absorbing many of the standalone add-on updates available since IIS was released, as well presenting administrators with new security, scalability, and administrative features. For readers familiar with IIS , this book has substantial sections devoted to popular add-ons now baked into the product, such as the Application Request Routing (ARR) and URL Rewrite modules, as well as coverage of new features, such as Central.
