Hi,
As Juan suggested, beta version might be one possible cause of the issue.
Besides that, there might be other possible causes.
If the server is 64 bit, it's a known issue that the ASP.NET version tab
will not work if they're running IIS under wow64. However, since you're
using SBS 2003 R2 which only has 32 bit, this should not be the case.
You may try the following steps to see if it can manually register the
extension:
1. Manually run the install for ASP.NET:
ASPNET_regiis -i
2. Register the dll for the MMC:
regsvr32.exe
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mmcaspext.dll"
3. "rundll32.exe"
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\webengine.dll",RegisterAspNet
MMC
4. From a command prompt run:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\AspNetMmcExt.dll
/tlb:AspNetMMCExt.tlb
5. Change the About value in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\{fedb2179-2335-48f1-aa28-
5cda35a2b36d}" from {7D23CCC6-A390-406F-AB67-2F8B7558F6F7} to
{7D23CCC6-A390-406F-AB67-2F8B7558F6F6}
======================================
The ASP.NET tab that displays in IIS is an MMC Extension of the IIS MMC.
If the tab is not showing, you can do the following to see if you can
manually add it:
1. Start | Run
2. Type mmc and click Open
3. From File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in
4. Click Add
5. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) MMC and click Add
6. Click Close
7. Click the Extensions tab, you should see ASP.NET Management Extension -
ensure it is checked
8. Click OK
9. Right-click a web site and select Properties to confirm the tab displays
======================================
Additional Information about the tab:
If you right-click on the "Web Sites" folder and select Properties, the
ASP.NET tab displays a version that cannot be changed. This value comes
from:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET]
RootVer Reg_SZ 2.0.50727.0
aspnet_regiis change this value as well.
The ASP.NET tab on each web site displays a dropdown of the versions. The
keys under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\ are used to populate the
versions displayed.
Let me know if above suggestion works.
Sincerely,
