Hi Readers,

This article is extension to below article where I have provided guidance on how to

redirect URL using URL rewrite utility (download from Microsoft) and create vanity URLS in your organization.

Url Redirections Process made Easy – Part I

Now we want that anything in “Name + suffix” that hits the IIS url rewrite rule gets redirected to URL .

Example:-

sccm

sccm.labtest.com

sccm.labparent.labtest.com

Create a blank rule, use “Matches the Pattern” and “Regular Expressions”

In Pattern use –>   (.*)

In conditions add as in below screen shot, Notice caret has been added in front of ^sccm.

Last step is create an action to redirect to a particular URL.

Now NAME + any Suffix that you will point  to URL rewrite IIS server in DNS will redirect to the URL mentioned in the Action.

In above example:

if URL rewrite IIS server where you have created the redirection rule is: 10.10.10.56

than you have to create a DNS A records

sccm.labtest.com  –> 10.10.10.56

sccm.labparent.labtest.com –> 10.10.10.56

This URL rewrite approach will assist you in streamlining your organizations vanity url process.
