Windows Server 2008 – Enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2

iis-7tlswindows-server-2008

Is it possible to enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 on Windows Server 2008 SP2 (not R2) running IIS7?

I've tried changing the registry and using IIS Crypto to enable it but it seems its not working.

If its not possible then how could I mitigate the Beast attacks?

Microsoft has released an update for Windows 2008 in 2017 which adds support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2 See @Chris Vesper's answer for the details.

Original:

Windows 2008 does not support TLS 1.1 and 1.2. You can mitigate beast by using a different cipher-suite (not involving RC4)
