Checking if Internet Information Services (IIS) is working is a crucial step in troubleshooting and maintaining web applications and services hosted on Windows servers. IIS is a web server that allows websites and applications to be hosted on a server and accessed by clients over the internet. To ensure that IIS is functioning correctly, there are several methods that can be employed.
Firstly, you can check if the IIS service is running. To do this, open the Services window (services.msc) and locate the “World Wide Web Publishing Service” or “IIS Admin Service.” The status of the service should be “Running.” If it is not, you can start the service by right-clicking on it and selecting “Start.”
