I tried browsing in localhost it gives this 503 error:
http://mvolo.com/where-did-my-iis7-server-go-troubleshooting-503-quotservice-unavailablequot-errors
might be wondering whether not activating windows server 2008 license might cause this.
it also has a ftp service installed by default but i see in server manager, there is a cross which shows error that some services are not running.
