How to check IIS version in windows server?


Hello, I have just started using Windows Server 2016 on Amazon EC2, but I am not able to check which IIS version I am using, as I would like to have Http/2 support which is starting from IIS 10 as far as I know.

So, let me know how I can check IIS version on windows server?

You can check IIS versions below methods

1. Using GUI

You can also open IIS by clicking on "windows +R" key and type "inetmgr" and press OK.

Once IIS is opened, you can navigate to "Help" menu and click on: "About Internet Information Services".

check-iis-version-windows

OR

You can open the GUI console, by navigating to below folders in Windows server

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe

and we go to the "Help" menu and click on: "About Internet Information Services".

2. Using Powershell

Open powershell in Administrator mode and then use below command

[System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo("$env:SystemRoot\system32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe").ProductVersion

3. Using RegEdit

You can locate IIS version by navigating to regedit location below

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ InetStp \ VersionString

The value of VersionString will indicate the IIS version installed on server.

Here are Server and IIS version
