IIS configuration

Configure IIS for Windows Server operatings systems or Windows desktop operating systems. Please refer to the Microsoft documentation for this task.

Set or create the following entry in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HTTP\Parameters]

For easy administration, here is also a Powershell script, which adds this registry key :

Set-Location -Path "HKLM:\"
$Path="HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HTTP\Parameters" 
New-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name "UrlSegmentMaxLength" -Value 1024 -PropertyType DWord
Set-Location -Path "C:\"
