How do you open IIS (Internet Information Services) Manager using Windows 10?
I have installed the developer preview of Windows 10 and can’t seem to find IIS Manager? It is not in Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
When I browse to the
I did a full search of my hard drive to find inetmgr.exe and found three copies and none of them would open, when I tried to open them it says «This App cannot Run on your PC» To find a version of the App that works contact the publisher.
I know IIS works because I have ran local ASP.net apps through VisualStudio, but I can’t seem to find any way to launch IIS Manager to do some configurations for a site.
Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks to @SLaks comment above I was able to turn on IIS and bring the manager back.
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked.
If it is not checked, check it. This might take a few minutes, but this will install everything you need to use IIS.
When it is done, IIS should have returned to Control Panel > Administrative Tools

Under the windows feature list, make sure to check the IIS Management Console
You also need to check additional check boxes as shown below:

Actually you must make sure that the IIS Management Console feature is explicitly checked. On my win 10 pro I had to do it manually, checking the root only was not enough!

@user1664035 & @Attila Mika’s suggestion worked. You have to navigate to Control Panel -> Programs And Features -> Turn Windows Features On or Off. And refer to the screenshot. You should check IIS Management console.

It most likely means that IIS Management Console was not installed, and modern Windows administrator/IT pro should be able to quickly check this by issuing this command:
Get-WindowsFeature *Web* And if it is missing just quickly add this via the following command:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Console 
GUI options mentioned above are also valid (see answer from @Joe Wu) but PowerShell it is best way to do IT for IT Pro or let’s put it as «if you have to do this slightly more often than once a year»

Launch Windows Features On/Off and select your IIS options for installation.
For custom site configuration, ensure IIS Management Console is marked for installation under Web Management Tools.

I arrived here because I was having the same issue.
If you are here and everything above didn’t work, it’s likely that you butchered your path somehow.
Go to System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Machine or User and add the following entry to the end, or append to the existing, separating with a semi-colon:
C:WindowsSystem32inetsrv After closing and opening your shell, you should now be able to access inetmgr from the command line.

Добрый день, в прошлый раз я вам рассказал, как отключить Internet Information Services и мы в этом разобрались, теперь же я хотел вернуться к клиентской версии операционной системы, а именно к Windows 10 Creators Update и другие редакции, многие из пользователей не предполагают, что еще со времен Windows 7, ее можно превратить в настоящий веб-сервер, на той же службе IIS и создавать на ней свои сайты, такой аля хостинг, как в Европе. Сегодня я вам покажу, как установить iis на windows 10 за минуту, вы поймете, что это реально просто и дешевле, чем покупать серверную версию.
Диспетчер служб iis в windows 10
Итак, службы iis в windows 10 по умолчанию, находятся в выключенном состоянии, а точнее, данный компонент не установлен из коробки, сделано это специально, чтобы не тратились ресурсы компьютера и лишние сокеты не крутились на нем. Чтобы нам добавить нужный компонент, сделайте вот что. Нажмите сочетание клавиш Win+R и введите в окне выполнить:
В результате чего у вас откроется панель управления Windows. Сделаем в ней представление значков в формате «Крупные значки»
Далее находим пункт «Программы и компоненты»
Переходим в пункт «Включение или отключение компонентов Windows», мы с вами это уже делали, устанавливая telnet клиент
Находим среди множества пунктов «Службы Интернета», ставим на против них галку и нажимаем ок. У вас начинается установка IIS windows 10.
Компонент веб сервер IIS, будет добавлен в считанные секунды, после чего я вам советую перезагрузить вашу операционную систему Windows 10.
Как и писал выше, перезапустим систему.
Кстати, как только вы все установили, перед запуском не поленитесь поискать свежие обновления в центре обновления Windows, так как могут быть свежие заплатки. Теперь смотрите, как вы можете теперь открыть диспетчер IIS. Есть несколько способов, первый, нажмите WIN+R и введите inetMgr. У вас откроется нужная оснастка.
Второй метод, это открыть кнопку пуск и в папке «Средства администрирования» найдите «Диспетчер служб IIS»
Вот так вот выглядит оснастка. Далее я вам советую почитать, про создание сайтов.
