Installing ASP.NET without Windows 2003 CDROM


Recently Microsoft released The best update ever that makes the robust windows 2003 better than ever. Here is a small trick if you forgot to install ASP.net in the IIS core components. No need to go to add remove. The trick is to use Aspnet_regiis.exe. As an Exchange Engineer We have often needed to re-register the ASP.net. In case you do not have the windows 2003 CD-ROM handy and need ASP.net installed just run aspnet_regiis.exe /I.
