Looking for SMTP service in IIS 7 / Longhorn beta 2.

I was looking to install SMTP service and could not find under the “web server” role.   Here are the instructions in the help file.  Hope this helps.


How to Add Features to Your Server
In Windows Server “Longhorn” Beta 2, you can add most available features to your server by using the Add Features Wizard.

One thought on “Looking for SMTP service in IIS 7 / Longhorn beta 2.”

  1. You can add the SMTP service as a feature but it looks like the ability to configure the service is not present in Beta 2. I have not seen any official confirmation of this. I am about to test Beta 3 but it looks to be the same way. Installing the IIS 6.0 Management Console role service does not provide a way to configure the SMTP service either.
