Hello there,
My name is Tomás O’Hare from Ireland. I bought a Dell server (T320) with Windows Server Standard 2012 pre-installed about 5 weeks ago.
I installed IIS and made some changes to suit an web application I wanted to run on the server. I’m not an IT engineer and wasn’t aware that a backup should be taken of the IIS default settings before making changes. I wish to revert IIS to its original state as IN cannot get local host to display (error 503).
Any feedback on how IIS 8 defaults can be restored would be appreciated? Am I left with a new server that IIS can't be used?
A colleague mentioned Windows Process Activation Service for IIS 7 but I don’t see this for IIS 8? It was implied that removing this feature as well as uninstalling IIS 8 might allow the defaults to be reinstated when re-installing IIS again? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Tomás O'Hare
