 * I have WordPress 3.3.1 installed on server 2008r2 running iiS 7.5 installed using
   the Microsoft WebMatrix link. I installed WP using defaults and configured as“
   localhost”. I followed the instructions for configuring multisites to the letter(
   several times).
 * Here’s my problem. When I add a 2nd site “localhost/wordpress/fcs” it completes
   without errors but it doesn’t create any folders/files on the iiS server. I’ve
   googled the He double LL out of the internet and this site but can’t find what
   I’m obviously missing.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * update to first post: on my default site I can add additional pages but they 
   also don’t create files. If I click the tab on main page I get a 404 error.

 * Update to first post: I’m on my 50th reinstall (thanks to Hyper-V).
 * Installed WP as a new site and disabled the default web site in iiS.
 * I can create pages on my root site but as soon as I enable multisite all previously
   created pages and all new pages display a “404 – File or directory not found.”
 * I’m completely stumped. Anyone have an idea to what I’m doing wrong?

 * Update: I found that I was using the incorrect link on M$’s /web/wordpress URL.
   I installed a webmatrix copy of wordpress but it’s not what I’m actually looking
   for. The webmatrix install assigns a random port# to the site which makes it 
   difficult/impossible to configure “multisite” networking.
 * Still looking for some advice on how to install WP 3.3.1 to a local server running
   W2k8r2 and iiS 7.5
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Hi same problem here, i cant find any posts to solve this…
    the only difference
   i try with Top level domains and not sub-domains.

 * update:
    1.I’ve managed to create a network, 2.I’ve set up few top level domains.
   3.i guessed for some reason that i should change IIS path bindings to the primary
   folder of all subdomains, and when i request EXAMPLE.COM/INDEX.PHP the index.
   php page loads, 4.However all other routes & links are broken, 5.i get the redirect
   loop (reauth=1) when ever trying to log in to other top level domain. 6.I’ve 
   tried setting URL routes in web config and set route following this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-install?replies=4#post-2198998](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-install?replies=4#post-2198998)
 * If any one could shed more light on how to run multi site wordpress on iis that
   would be very helpfull
