Yes, no special configuration is required.
Yes. Theoretically, there is no additional configuration necessary. In practice, though, there are a couple of tweaks I would use. They will get rid of some pesky error messages and conflicts later on.
First, give “network service” full control of the windows/system32 and windows/microsoft.net directories.
Second, in IIS, make sure none of your web sites are running ASP.net version 1, then prohibit it in “server extensions”.
If you get MSDCT errors, (common), this is the fix:
1. Click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services.
2. Click the “+” next to Component services to expand it.
3. Right click “My Computer” in the right window pane and select Properties.
4. Click the MS DTC Tab.
5. Click the “Security Configuration” button, a dialog box appears. Click “OK”.
6. Click “OK” on the “My Computer Properties” box; this will take you back to the console.
7. Right click “My Computer” and select “Stop MS DTC” (this stops the MSDTC service.
8. Again, right click “My Computer” and select “Start MS DTC”.
(Yes, I know you didn’t actually “change” anything. But, by following the above steps, it appears that this sets the MS DTC defaults resolving the error messages. Check the event log to verify that the problem is gone. You might also want to restart the server to verify this.
