The Identity Finder Console requires Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to be installed and properly configured before installing the console.  This article provides links to installing IIS and details on the required Roles and Role Services configuration.

Roles and Role Services Configuration

After IIS has been installed, prior to running the console installer, at least the following Roles and Role Services must be configured.  To begin, open the Server Manager application.  If Roles or Roles Services are added after the DLP Enterprise Console installer has been run, it will be necessary to run the installer again.
