Installed Application Request Routing for IIS, but cannot see it in the management tool for IIS

  • 772

I'm trying to configure the ARR, but can't seem to find it anywhere in the IIS management tool.

I've checked for permission issues (both during the install and when starting the IIS Manager). ARR shows up as an installed program, and I've tried install/uninstalling it.

What could be the problem?

iis configuration arr

  1. I also could not find the ARR icon when using the server manager. But when I went to control panel, admin tools, iis manager, the ARR icon was there.

  2. Best Answer

    Server Farms should be the UI branch from which it's configured. The top level of a given farm shows its ARR properties.

    If you haven't closed/reopened the Inetmgr GUI since installing it, you need to do that too.

  3. I got this problem on Server 2012 R2, I usually start IIS Manager form the command line

    It turned out when using:

    %windir%\System32\inetsrv\iis.msc

    the ARR icons are missing, but when using

    %windir%\system32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe

    they show up just fine.

    On Server 2012 R2, both Administrative tools and Server Manager use InetMgr.exe, so both should work, on older OSes, there may be links using iis.msc

  4. Using Windows 10 the same happens after installation of 'Application Request Routing'. Installed, de-installed through various scenarios, but it just didn't show.

    SOLUTION: use 'Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager' direct (type IIS in start menu) NOT: clicking through 'Computer Management' and then 'Services and Applications - Internet Information Services'. (just like Peter Hahn experienced in W2012R2)

    If someone has a good explanation for this, I would love to hear it. This issue was raised more then 10 years ago, but is still actual. Cost me a day or 2...
