Just wondering if any has instructions on how to configure an iis server as a distribution point for user images.
I have tried to follow the generic instructions but just cant get it to work. Prepare to enable user images



I have a basis iis server built with images but cant get past that.

Check with your TAM. At one point UbuntuApache was the only supported route.


Hey @mueller_helpdesk!



Use this link to set it up: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/309/using-iis-to-enable-http-downloads-on-a-windows-server-2008-or-2012-file-share-distribution-point



It's super easy, I've been using IIS for JAMF for a long time.


Thanks Aziz I will try that again but I think the setup is different when it is specifically for Apple Education User Images.
Further information on my current config. I have been getting the error "Trust must be established between the JSS and the web server. Use the documentation provided by your web server to enable client authentication".


@mueller_helpdesk



I'm guessing that means you need an SSL certificate for your distribution point. Disable HTTP in IIS (or redirect HTTP to HTTPS) and only use HTTPS with a valid public SSL (or internal PKI).


@mueller_helpdesk did you ever find success in setting up user images on IIS? I am having the same issue. I know nothing about certificate authentication.

Can you reach out to me at jboswell@bhsd228.com? We are pivoting away from Apache as we have nobody on the team to support Linux and would like to move to IIS. That link above does not seem to be alive anymore.
