Role, Role Service, and Feature Dependencies in Server Manager

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

This topic identifies the dependencies that server roles, role services, and features have on other roles, role services, and features in Windows Server® 2008.

Dependencies in Server Manager

Administrators can use the Server Manager wizards to install, configure, or remove roles, role services, and features. Many programs within roles, role services, and features are dependent upon other programs to run. A program that is dependent upon on another program is known, for the purposes of this topic, as a dependent. By contrast, a program upon which another program depends to run is an antecedent. For example, because the Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) role depends upon the Web Server (IIS) role, AD RMS is the dependent and Web Server (IIS) is the antecedent.

To install and run a dependent program, all its antecedents must also be installed. Some antecedents are simply child elements of the role, role service, or feature that is the dependent. In the Feature dependencies table later in this section, for example, .NET Framework 3.0 Features is the parent feature, and Windows Communication Foundation Activation Components is a sub-feature of .NET Framework 3.0 Features.

The tables in the following sections show the dependencies between technologies that you can install, manage, and remove by using Server Manager.

Remote Server Administration Tools (container node only, no dependencies)

Note
The dependencies list for Remote Server Administration Tools shows only the remote management tools that are selected by default when the Remote Server Administration Tools container node is selected. For example, nodes within Remote Server Administration Tools for the roles Active Directory Certificate Services and Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services are selected by default, along with all other roles manageable by using Remote Server Administration Tools. However, only the remote management tools are installed, not the roles, role services, or features.
