Making Supplemental Components Available

  • Article

Microsoft designed Server Manager and the underlying framework for managing components to be extensible. This makes it easier to provide supplemental roles, role services, and features for the operating system. Some additional components are available as downloads from the Microsoft Web site, including Windows Media Server 2008 and Windows SharePoint Server 2008.

You can make these components available for installation and configuration by completing the following steps:

  1. Download the installer package or packages from the Microsoft Web site. Typically, these are provided as a set of Microsoft Update Standalone Packages (.msu) files.
  2. Double-click each installer package to register it for use.
  3. If Server Manager is running on the server, restart or refresh Server Manager to make the new components available.
  4. In Server Manager, use the appropriate wizard to install and configure the supplemental role, role service, or feature.
