I just got Windows Server 2012 Essentials installed and I would like to set up my dev web projects in IIS on the server. But I can't seem to find how to get to it? When I remote to the machine with my admin account all I seem to have access to is the dashboard.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Essentials comes with IIS preinstalled, so unless you uninstalled it for some reason, its there already.

I'm assuming you want to get to the IIS 8 admin tool.
In order to get there

  • press the start button (on your keyboard)
  • click on the Administrative Tools tile
  • From there scroll down to IIS Manager and double click

OR

Hold down the windows key and press the R key (win+r) then type in inetmgr
