I have successfully (??) installed Moodle on a server 2008R2 using IIS and SQL on a different server. However, it seems that only a few users can connect at a time and then will get the IIS splash screen when attempting at a later time, while others are successful at getting to the Moodle Homepage. I have done all I know to do to correct this (which isn't much as I am not an IIS SME). We are only attempting internal connections at this time till we have the bugs worked out, so the perimeter firewall is not an issue. I'm looking to some help please!
Tom, if they are at least seeing IIS splash screen, doesn't means server is bottle necking, they would have been getting errors instead.
now coming to your configuration, Server 2008 R2 seems perfect for the job as it was since 2008 R2 PHP was handled using FastCGI instead of CGI earlier, so I am assuming you've selected CGI in application development instead of ISAPI alone?
You can however watch this video HERE, as it shows both manual PHP setup and using PHP Manager, though was made on Server 2012 R2, but will be equally good for Server 2008 R2 as well.
Usman,
Your assumptions are correct. It seems strange to me that we can connect and log in to the site at times for some users while others can’t. then ones that could can’t while others can. I will look at the video. Thanks for your suggestions.

You can reply to this via email.
I have rebuilt the Webserver (again), this time using the video as Usman suggested. It seems like we may have solved the IIS issues, but it is really to soon to tell.
We can now hit the site using https://training.xxxx.ca/moodle. internally as I have created a training.xxxx.ca zone in our internal DNS pointing to the moodle webserver. Our external DNS record for access to moodle is 'training.xxxx.ca'.
Will the /moodle tail for internal access be problematic to access publicly?
$CFG->wwwroot = 'https://training.xxxx.ca/moodle';
Is it necessary to make a change to the above parameter in config.php to remove the /moodle tail? Is there a change in IIS required? If so how is that done successfully?
