This is a very broad question... <br />
<br />
For security you can refer to this<br />
<a href="https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Hardening_IIS" rel="ugc">https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Hardening_IIS</a><br />
<br />
If you plan to use specific language I would check best pratice for IIS and PHP for example<br />
<br />
Also web server is not just the web service it is also an hardware setup.<br />
<br />
So you may make a list of what you plan to setup and the use, &nbsp;then do some research for each part...<br />
The needs maybe different from a company to another...<br />
<br />
I guess MS lessons / tutorial could help you to start.<br />
You can also check tutorial on <a href="https://www.pluralsight.comor" rel="ugc">https://www.pluralsight.comor</a>&nbsp;on udemy

Are there any 'best practices' guides for general iis configuration and management, not just from a security angle. Plus any common mistakes that are made.

Iis general best practice.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
