WebClient Service on Windows Server 2012 (WebDav client) RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi!

    Where is WebClient Service on Windows Server 2012? If i want may server to act as a WebDav client, i need this service to be started. The service exists in prev. ver. of Windows Server (and in windows 8), but not in WS2012. Maybe i need to install additional roles/features, but i don't know which one is needed.

    Ideas?

  • You have to install IIS with the features needed. Use server manager and add the role. Hasan

  • Hi Hasan!

    IIS is installed, and WebDav is enabled, but this not help me- still i have no WebClient service. In this way i have a WebDav server, but i want from this server to access another WebDav target, i.e, my server to act as a WebDav Client, as i can do in WS2008 R2 and previous.

  • Sorry, misunderstood your question. You have to install desktop experience. Add the feature from Server Manager, or use powershell.
