The following roles, role services and features must be installed/enabled as a minimum. The Name column is the reference used in PowerShell commands.
In the case of .NET Framework features we refer to 4.X in the Display Name, as X may be different depending on the server OS. The PowerShell Name always uses 45 instead of the actual version.

Configure IIS using PowerShell

Do this even if IIS is already installed because it will ensure all the required features and roles are installed.
