Consider more than 2 .net applications running in IIS Server, They may be running on either Targeted .NET framework Version (If It is available in Server Machine) or later .net Version. Is there any way to Get the .NET version of Each app running on the IIS Server in a single shot
Is it possible and an acceptable solution to use a machine with windows os (not windows server) to host an asp.net website? Is all I need IIS regardless the os?
Yes it is possible. if your working with asp.net all you need is IIS witch is only integrated with Windows platforms. on the other hand if you're working with asp.net core it does not require IIS and can also be deployed to linux platforms.
I am running an application in IIS 6 with ASP .net 4 framework. But the application is not able to send data to the devices connected in network but the same application running in IIS 7 with 4.0 .net Framework then this application is working fine and same features are enable for both IIS (6,7) in systems.
Should I need to change any setting of IIS 6 so that application will work fine?
This only references requirements for clients:

I am looking for similar documentation in reference not just for .NET 4, but ASP.NET 4 and what IIS versions, OS SP's, etc. are required. I would like to see if there are any pitfalls to requesting IT to install ASP.NET 4 and MVC 3 on our server. Don't want to have egg on my face :)
Per the documentaiton on the installer download for .NET 4.0 ( http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851)
Additional Requirements for Server
Installation
If you have to perform a server
installation, your computer must have
the following software in addition to
the basic requirements:
•Internet Information Services (IIS)
version 6.0 or later. To access the
features of ASP.NET, IIS with the
latest security updates must be
installed before the .NET Framework is
installed. ASP.NET is supported only
on Windows XP Professional, Windows
Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and
Windows Server 2008 R2.
So it will run in IIS 6.0 or above. If you want to know which operating systems support asp.net 4.0, that would be any operating system that supports IIS version 6.0 or above. This jives with my comment on your question.
That said, the biggest thing to watch out for is that you have to configure any .NET 4.0 IIS application to use a different applicaiton pool than 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5. There's more info on this here: http://johan.driessen.se/posts/getting-an-asp.net-4-application-to-work-on-iis6
WinXP has IIS 5 and the .net framework and ASP.NET 4 is supported on it. For server technologies, IIS6 and newer are supported, as Server 2003 which has IIS6 is the oldest server technology that supports ASP.NET 4.
Can I run ASP.NET 4.0 websites on Windows XP II6 or do I need Windows 7 with II7 in order to run it?
Yes you can run ASP.Net 4 applications on IIS 6, but some features will not be available like some of the additions to web publishing added to Visual Studio 2010 and the Auto Start feature to mention a few.
Of course don't forget to give it a different App Pool than the other applications using the other .Net versions.
