IIS / Sharepoint 2003 - Creating an alias for the servername 1

[PaulMThomas]

We have a Windows 2003 Server with Sharepoint 2003, this is to be used for a intranet.

A DNS entry exists with a 'friendly' name for the Sharepoint server so users can enter

http://intranet/

in there web browser, however as the server is called SERVER02, as soon as the web broswer connects it shows

http://SERVER01/.

How can I create an 'alias' for the servername that shows in IE?

I hope this question makes sense, if not please say!!

Sounds like your DNS entry is an alias (CNAME) pointing to Server2. Create a Host Records (A) in DNS which points intranet to the IP address of the IIS Server. That should do the trick, but if not... try adding a host header for the name intranet within the IIS properties of the web-site. Search IIS help for host header.
