Not sure how to setup the following...

[Dave]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

Currently this works...

http://webmail.domainname.com/exchange

This opens my webmail login page. What I want to do is
make it so...

http://webmail.domainname.com

....automatically opens the url above so users dont have to
remember the /exchange at the end of the URL. Make sense?

I dont host my own DNS servers - use the ones at Verisign
where the domain name is registered, they have all my MX
records, etc for my domains. Can anyone help ?

Thanks.

Dave

You could setup a separate server with IIS installed with that name, and
then redirect that to the /exchange URL. You can't do it on the main default
site, since that may affect OWA functionality.

Then you'll be glad to know that your situation has nothing whatever to
do with DNS. Go to the manual for your HTTP server, whatever it is, and
read up on how to configure it to publish HTTP redirects.

Use the IIS Management console to open the Default Web site, right click on
the Default page (Usually named Default.htm), choose properties. On the File
tab select "Redirection to a URL" type in
http://webmail.domainname.com/exchange/ and click OK.
