Windows Server 2003 does not install Internet Information Services (IIS) by default. You need to install IIS before you can install the VMware Management Interface. To install IIS, in Windows help (choose Start > Help), then search on the term IIS.

Further, Windows Server 2003 only allows the rendering of static Web pages by default, not dynamic pages. In order to render dynamic pages, which are required to display the VMware Management Interface, you need to allow unknown CGI extensions for IIS. To configure IIS to allow unknown CGI extensions, complete the following steps.

1. Choose Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS). The Internet Information Services management window opens.

2. Click the + (plus) sign next to the local computer name to expand the components.

3. Click Web Service Extensions.

4. In the right window pane, select All Unknown CGI Extensions, then click the Allow button.

5. Close the Internet Information Services management window.
