Configuring ASP.NET Core with IIS on Nano Server
In this recipe, we will install HttpPlatformHandler
on the WIN2016IIS
server (this is the physical server) and configure httpPlatformHandler.dll
and httpplatform_schema.xml
from WIN2016IIS
to Nano Server. We will configure our ASP.NET Core application on Nano Server. We will connect Nano Server remotely through PowerShell and manage IIS over the IISAdministrator
module and Nano Server.
