	A list of module names mapped to dll files can be found in the IIS configuration file. This may give a clue what module is required to be added in Programs and Features or Roles. Alternatively, the module may no longer be required on a new server and can be deleted from the configuration file (may cause strange errors later on) and IIS restarted with a new configuration.
