Tag use
The tag iis can be used for programming issues related to configuring a server IIS for web development purposes. Tag iis can also be used for programming problems in IIS service implementation using the IIS server. Please note that the tag cannot be used for more specific server installation and related configuration issues, as it is not part of the normal developer job.
Important: Please check if you mentioned which version of IIS you are working on when asking a question. For example, there is a world of difference between IIS6 and IIS7+ and these very different products, operationally and architecturally. More specific tags for the version the question refers to can be used when the question is not applied to other versions. Specific tags of related technologies such as iis-logs and iis-modules can also be used alone or in conjunction with the main.
