Windows 8 Iis Manager
The main IIS configuration utility is found in the Windows Control Panel. It’s in the “System and Security” section in the “Administrative Tools” option. The below image gives you a quick overview of the IIS 7.5 main manager window: There are several IIS utilities to configure your website. You won’t use many of these utilities at all.
I get an error while trying to install IIS manager from 'Turn on off windows features' on a windows 8 machine. Just before trying to install this I install Visual Studio community online and rebooted my machine. Visual Studio works fine.
I also made sure all updates are installed on my machine and also rebooted and tried installing IIS manager.
The error that I get is 'The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction'
ThanksRanjith

Try to turn off your antivirus before install IIS.
I had the same problem and spent hours trying to find out the root cause. Tried to disable anti virus and other options as discussed in forums on the internet.
Here is how i resolved the problem.
Open up msconfig -> go to boot tab -> select Safe boot (Minimal) -> Apply -> Okay
Your machine should restart in safe mode and you should be able to successfully install IIS from the 'Turn Windows Feature On/Off' section as described by others.
After the installation is complete, run msconfig again to unselected Safe boot so that you log in to the normal desktop environment on restart. Enjoy!
Just now i also faced that problem and this is how fixed the problem.
The reason can be another server which running on your pc, is using the same port as IIS. (e.g: 80 or 8080).
According to my solution, I started the wampserver. then click on wamp icon on the task bar. then opened the httpd.conf file from Apache.
find (ctrl+F) the 'Listen 80' and replace it to 'Listen 8080' or any other. save it.
restart your pc and try to install the IIS manager again.
hope it will works!! Good luck.

How do you open IIS (Internet Information Services) Manager using Windows 10?
I have installed the developer preview of Windows 10 and cant seem to find IIS Manager? It is not in Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
When I browse to the folder C:WindowsSystem32inetsrv it is empty.
I did a full search of my hard drive to find inetmgr.exe and found three copys and none of them would open, when I tried to open them it says 'This App cannot Run on your PC' To find a version of the App that works contact the publisher.
I know IIS works because I have ran local ASP.net apps through VisualStudio but I cant seem to find a way to launch IIS Manager to do some configurations for a site.
Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks to @SLaks comment above I was able to turn on IIS and bring the manager back.
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked.
If it is not checked, check it. This might take a few minutes, but this will install everything you need to use IIS.
When it is done, IIS should have returned to Control Panel > Administrative Tools
MattyMerrixMattyMerrixUnder the windows feature list, make sure to check the IIS Management Console You also need to check additional check boxes as shown below:
kenorbActually you must make sure that the IIS Management Console feature is explicitly checked. On my win 10 pro I had to do it manually, checking the root only was not enough!
- Run appwiz.cpl - brings up Programs and Features
- Choose 'Turn Windows Features On/Off'
- Select the IIS Services you need
@user1664035 & @Attila Mika's suggestion worked. You have to navigate to Control Panel -> Programs And Features -> Turn Windows Features On or Off. And refer to the screenshot. You should check IIS Management console.
kenorbafter turning IIS on (by going to Windows Features On/Off) type inetmgr in search bar or run

It most likely means that IIS Management Console was not installed, and modern Windows administrator/IT pro should be able to quickly check this by issuing this command:
And if it is missing just quickly add this via the following command:
GUI options mentioned above are also valid (see answer from @Joe Wu) but PowerShell it is best way to do IT for IT Pro or let's put it as 'if you have to do this slightly more often than once a year' :)

Credit and thanks to Mikhail's comment above.
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked. You good to go.
Sahan Pasindu NirmalSahan Pasindu NirmalMattyMerrix elaborated very well, I want to add that if you can see 'ask me anything' box i.e. Cortana 'the intelligent software' at the taskbar then there is no need to press the windows key.
HongarcLaunch Windows Features On/Off and select your IIS options for installation.
For custom site configuration, ensure IIS Management Console is marked for installation under Web Management Tools.
