ASP.NET Ajax 1.0 is supported on all the Windows 2003 servers with ASP.NET 2.0.
If the user decides to use Ajax in their website they must modify the Web.Config file as shown in the following example (in red are the sections to be added if you already have a web.config):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
Note: as an alternative to the manual modification of the file, it is possible to use the Web administration tool to configure the settings of the application. Use the ASP.NET Configuration control of the Visual Studio Website menu.
A list with the settings and comments is available in the
machine.config.comments file which is usually found in
WindowsMicrosoft.NetFrameworkv2.xConfig
