Intranet access

[jonwilbanks]

Several users on the network type the address of the webserver without the

http://www designation

ex. thedomain.com as opposed to

http://www.thedomain.com

There are multiple DCs on the network and the server the users reach seems to be random. NSLOOKUP on "thedomain.com" reveals the addresses of all the domain controllers in a list. The question is - does anybody know how I can get the address "thedomain.com" to go to the web server exclusively. I tried an alias DNS entry for "thedomain.com" pointing to the webserver but no luck.

Put in an "A" record in your DNS server for

http://www.......Then

any host that types

http://www.yourdomain.com

will be directed to the webserver. Hope this helps.

I have the

http://www record

and it works fine when the user includes the

http://www in

the address. The problem arises when the user leaves off the

http://www part.

edit your domain policy as follows

User configuration >> Windows Settings >> Internet Explorer maintenance >> connection >> proxy settings

Under the execptions box type in \\yourdomain.com

Then when anyone types in yourdomian.com at their browser they will be directed to your webserver.

Hope this helps
