    Server 2003 SP2

    Hi. I'm trying to install IIS on a server that I just build. It has been added to the network domain already. When i log in to the server hit add/remove role and try to install iis I get could not install. When i go to add/remove programs i get this error instantly when i click on add components.

    Internet Information Services (IIS) cannot be installed because your administrator has enabled a "Prevent IIS installation" group policy. You will not be able to install components that depend on IIS

    I have already gone into gpedit.msc and made sure the following was set to disabled.
    Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Information Services -> Prevent IIS installation.

    I am logged in as local administrator and also if i log in as domain administrator it says the same thing. There are currently no roles set to the server. Someone help?! I am not remotely connecting either through rdp to the server.

    Hello ,

    Maybe the Entry in Registry is Still there . You will have to remove it from the registry [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\IIS!PreventIISInstall [/FONT]

    If you can provide me the Server Login Details I can Sort the issue and Install IIS for you if its OK for you to give the password . You can change the Password after IIS has been installed :confused:
