Question : I need to deploy my ASP.NET web service

I am running Windows Server 2003 with IIS 5.2.  I have an ASP.NET 2.0 web service that works fine in Visual Studio 2008, and I need to deploy it on that same machine.  

I have donee this before but most recenelty was working on newer versions of Windows Server.  So please help me properly publish and configure this web service so I can at least Browse it successfully from within IIS.

What steps doI follow?  And what verification is there to show that I performed the steps correctly?


Thanks,
