Alessandro Pilotti a Microsoft MVP will be holding a Free Training on high performance Drupal on IIS 7 with Windows Server 2008. This training sounds like a great opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge on IIS so make sure to check it out if your at DrupalCon 2012 in Denver.

You sure can't beat free, hands on introductions to Application Request Routing, WinCache, and WebFarm Frameworks which are all topics I plan to cover in detail here in the future. If I can make it to Denver this year you can bet I'll be at this training. So I hope to see you all there.

Please see Drupal IIS7 Initial Setup Resources first to see a list of resources we will need to enable windows server 2008 to work with php and drupal.

Also take a look at the compiled setup video to see the process from start to finish here.

The video below will guide you through the steps outlined in this blog post.

This task is to show the steps for creating a site on the rackspace cloud. Other clouds and individual servers will be similar. It is demonstrated here how to setup a individual database server and iis server but this is not required.
