We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SUMMARY
This article outlines platform support for ASP.NET applications.



MORE INFORMATION
ASP.NET is only supported on the following platforms:
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (Microsoft recommends Service Pack 2)
 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Server (Microsoft recommends Service Pack 2)

You can develop ASP.NET applications by running Visual Studio .NET on a Windows NT client platform. However, this scenario requires access to a Web server that is running Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or later.
