  Hi,

  You can add the web server (IIS) role  with IIS 6 Management Compatibility option selected and also add both SMTP Server and SMTP Server Tools .

   

  The SMTP service is actually managed through IIS 6.0, not IIS 7.0
  
  Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager.

   

  
  Expand the server tree you will see SMTP virtual server, which IIS uses to send mail.
  
  Right-click on it and select Properties.
  
  Click the Delivery tab, and then the Outbound Security button. We want Basic Authentication.

   

  Hope this helps you.

  Hi,

   

  Thanks for posting here.

   

  You could install IIS role on windows server R2 host to achieve the goal, for more information please refer to the link below:

  Meanwhile, as this is an IIS related post, you would like to post it to IIS forum:

  Hi Tiger / All,

  I've configured SMTP on 2012 R2 STD standalone server with self signed certificate (generated using IIS manager [not IIS manager 6.0] - Server cert - Create self signed Cert. Is this the right way to generate certificate for local communication? but after this cert generation, i can see certificate validity on SMTP server - Access tab

  Also kindly clarify below queries:

  1. How can i use different versions of TLS (example TLS 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2) and where are those option to define versions

  2. How can i import commercial CA cert on to SMTP server. Would like to know the steps to import the same

  3. Ony anonymous Auth is working for me. When i use Basic / windows authentication, it is unsuccessfully.

  4. Finally, do we have any tool to test the configuration (for with / without Auth.)

  Many thanks,

  Arun
