Wanted to see if there would be support to utilize IIS for installations on an actual windows server instead of the UltiDev Web Server. I have a server that I use to run all my home systems and my personal websites. It would be nice to only have one running. Looking at the setup, it looks like it wouldn't take much to support, but I am obviously only looking at it from a high level install.

Hey Ryan, that is easily doable however it is a manual process. If you're familiar with UltiDev and ISS, you simply need to remove the website from the UltiDev control panel, then create a new website in IIS. For the root directory, point it to C:\Program Files (x86)\CastleOS\CastleOS Core Service\WebApp. Make sure the app pool is .NET 4.0. That's it! When you upgrade CastleOS, the IIS website will be updated, but it will also recreate the UltiDev site, so just go in and remove it again upon updating. Let me know if you have any issues...
