Basic Administration Tasks
For a Web server to start serving content, it must have a basic configuration: a site, an application, a virtual directory, and an application pool. IIS 7.0 provides a default configuration that includes the Default Web Site with a root application mapped to a physical directory %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\Wwwroot and a default application pool called DefaultAppPool that this application belongs to.
However, you may need to create your own site, add an application to the site, add a virtual directory to the application, create a new application pool, and assign an application to the application pool. The following sections describe how to perform these basic administration tasks by using IIS Manager.
