Exchange 2010 IIS Requirements

I admit! I recently wasted a bunch of my time!

I was installing Exchange 2010 Beta and ran into a lot of errors about IIS features not being installed. As I progressed through one error, another would pop up. I decided it would be nice to list all of the IIS settings needed to host the four Exchange server roles: Mailbox Role, Client Access Role, Hub Transport Role, and Unified Messaging Role.

I hope this saves you some time!
