IIS7 is a major change in IIS. Don Henderson contacted me and asked if I could help get it working. It really isn't hard but involves a few steps.
How do you get SAS/IntrNet operational.
1. Enable CGI Role on Server through the Server Manager.
2. Add in your website in IIS. Right-click the scripts or cgi-bin directory where
the broker.exe is located and select Convert to Application.
3. While still having the scripts/cgi-bin folder selected, double-click on the handler mappings icon on the right-hand side. There should already be a listing for *.cgi at the top. Double-click on it --> Request restrictions --> Mapping --> Invoke --> File or Folder, Access --> Execute.
4. Click on the machine name in IIS. Click on ISAPI and CGI restrictions. Click on Add..., specify the full path to the broker.exe.
5. Optional: set up a host header.
Click on the Default website or on the website name. On the far right-hand side of the screen, click on bndings. Specify a host header (demos.savian.net, for example).

Good luck and contact me if you have issues.

Thanks Alan. Making it an application was the trick. I guess MS changed that since the last release. Leave it the MS to do $%^$%^%$#@% like that. Of course, that is why I asked for your help ;-)
They (MS) need to make it simpler.
Not sure if you did them then backed them out but each step, including the host header, was required.
I never had to touch security which I was shocked by.
Hello there (I couldn't find your e-mail so I am writing this here)
I'd like to invite you to add your blog to the new:
http://sas-x.com/
Website.
It's a news website, all dedicated to SAS, based on bloggers content.
I am it's founder, and I created it after creating a similar (and somewhat successful) such website around the topic of R programming. That website can be seen at:

If you are interested in joining, you can simply add your site at:
