 Under IIS6, a third-party add-on must be used. Helicon provides one which directly supports .htaccess rules.
-==IIS 7 URL Rewriting==
+== IIS7 ==
-If you have a server running IIS 7 and PHP, you can take advantage of IIS's own internal URL rewriting by using a web.config file similar to the one listed below.
+{{:Enabling Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs on IIS/IIS7}}
-You can create the file yourself or use the GUI in the IIS7 Manager. You can import .htaccess rules using the GUI/wizard.
+== IIS6 ==
+{{:Enabling Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs on IIS/IIS6}}
-This functionality depends on the presence of the '''IIS URL Rewrite Module''', which does not come with Windows. It is a free download and a Microsoft product.
-−
-===GUI===
-If the IIS URL Rewrite module is installed, your website manager will have a tool for "URL Rewrite", visible in the IIS Manager's view of your site's configurable IIS modules. The interface is largely self-explanatory. Regular expressions, wildcards or exact matches are all supported.

-In the Joomla config turn on both the SEF and Apache mod_rewrite, next create a rule under IIS URL Rewrite:
-:Pattern field: '''^([^/]+)/?$'''
-:Ignore case '''ON'''
-:Action type: '''Rewrite'''
-:Rewrite URL: '''index.php/'''

-===web.config===
-This has been tested on Joomla 1.5 with IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008 with no problems so far. For more information on converting .htaccess to web.config, check out http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/557/translate-htaccess-content-to-iis-webconfig/
