Does SharePoint 2013 require server role “Http Activation” enabled along with its feature role?

Question

I see "HTTP Activation" at both server role and under features as well. Is it needed to be enabled under server role as well. Please suggest.

Answer 1

Hello here are described server roles and features which need to be activated for SharePoint 2013. There is Windows Feature AS-HTTP-Activation which must be activated, so I think, answer is YES.

Otherwise there can be a little differences caused by version of Windows Server you run your SharePoint 2013 servers.

Hope it helps!
