IIS on my DB Server?

Hi.

I have been weeding through networking stuff and am
wondering - do I need to be running IIS on my DB server?

THanks

Do you need to create Web sites? Are you deploying Web apps with backend
databases? (I assume that's what you mean by "DB") What are you trying to
accomplish, that's what dictates what you need to install.

(And if you have a Web-facing application you would not want the database
to be installed on the same server, BTW -- the Web server should be in a
perimeter network and the db should be behind the firewall on the LAN with
a secure IPsec connection to the Web server.)
