Windows Server - Different URL names for the same website

Asked By Chipmunk
12-Nov-09 07:58 PM
I have a 2003 Windows server that configure with IIS with several website
names.  Is it possible to configure the DNS server to accept multiple URL
names for one of the website name.  For example if one of the website name is
call  "washingtonplace.domain.com" can I create a DNS entry so this website
can also be reach using the URL name "wp.domain.com"?  For your information,
the "washingtonplace.domain.com" is not the default website on the IIS
server. It just another virtual web server on that box.  I try creating a
CName (Alias) record on the DNS server and point it to the same IP Address as
the Host (A) Record for "washingtonplace.domain.com" but when I try to reach
it using my browser with the URL name "wp.domain.com" I get an Under
Contruction Error message.  What am I doing incorrectly?  Any advise would be
appreciated.

In IIS, not DNS, go into each website's properties, under Website tab, click
on Advanced, and make sure that the corresponding host header
(wp.domain.com, washingtonplace.domain.com, etc) are associated with that
specific website.

GPO's Not Replicating Windows Server I am having a great deal of trouble getting GPs to pull over the domain to port 389 on the DC but I can telnet to 23 (after enabling telnet server). It shows that it is listening on 389 in netstat. SYSVOL properties are as they GP fine. it is everything outside of those 2 that does not. The PDC / DNS server is using its own IP for DNS.

Overriding default SBS 2008 policies Windows Server We have an SBS 2008 located at one site of a multi-site network connected site VPN tunnels. I added a group policy that explicitly allowed Remote Desktop through the Windows firewall for the three subnets involved. However, the SBS 2008 canned Windows XP Policy lists me from making RDP connections across the VPN. I edited the canned time a wizard is run? Could I get the desired effect in some better way?
