IIS Web Farms

Web applications can also be hosted on multiple IIS servers that together form a Web Farm. The configuration of a Web Farm in which servers that are connected via Virtual IP and a load balancer are covered.

Remote Management and Troubleshooting

Finally attention is paid to the remote management of IIS servers using Powershell cmdLets. And troubleshooting and backup and restore are also treated.
