Refer - IIS 7.5 remove etag headers from response[^] and follow the solution.
Quote:

You can use the IIS Rewrite Module 2.0 to remove the ETag. The following rewrite rule should do it:


HTML
<rewrite>
   <outboundRules>
      <rule name="Remove ETag">
         <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_ETag" pattern=".+" />
         <action type="Rewrite" value="" />
      </rule>
   </outboundRules>
</rewrite>

You can see an example image of the rule configuration in IIS Manager on my blog.
