How to use Intranet instead of companywen in sharepoint?

Hi,

I run SharePoint 3.0 on SBS 2008. By default, the SharePoint website address
is http://companyweb, I want to change it to http://intranet as we used to
have on 2.0 on SBS 2003, however it does not work. I added intranet as CNAME
in DNS. When I ping companyweb and intranet, both reply the same IP address,
which is my server's IP. But companyweb display the right page, Intranet
shows IIS7 welcome page.

How can I use Intranet instead of companyweb? Need help!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Lisa,you have to ADD the Hostheader (aka "Host name") in IIS too.

Hi Lisa,


you have to ADD the Hostheader (aka "Host name") in IIS too.

Note: Adding is better den renaming or removing.

So ADD "intranet" as another CNAME and Hostheader instead of renaming

Hi Tobias, I got it and it works. Thank you very much.1.Open IIS Manager.

Hi Tobias, I got it and it works. Thank you very much.

1.Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager, see Open IIS
Manager (IIS 7).

2.In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and then
select the site for which you want to configure a host header.

3.In the Actions pane, click Bindings.

4.In the Site Bindings dialog box, select the binding for which you want to
add a host header and then click Edit or click Add to add a new binding with
a host header.

5.In the Host name box, type a host header for the site, such as
www.contoso.com.

6.Click OK.

7.To add an additional host header, create a new binding with the same IP
address and port, and the new host header. Repeat for each host header that
you want to use this IP address and port.
