How do I setup a domain alias in Microsoft Windows IIS6 webserver?

• Connect to the server via RDP (remote desktop or TS)
  
• Open IIS administrator, launch from START > Administrative tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager or START > RUN > inetmgr.exe
  
• Expand 'Local Computer'
  
• Expand 'Web Sites'
  
• Select site in question
  
• Right click the site name and select 'Properties'
  
• In 'Web Site' tab click 'Advanced'
  
• Click 'Add'
  
• IP Address: Select the same IP as that used by the site already
  
• TCP port: 80
  
• Host Header Value: alias value (e.g. www.secondarydomain.com or xyz.domain.com)
  
• Click 'OK'
  
• Click 'OK'
  
• Click 'OK'
  
• Next, ensure that your new domain or alias domain is setup in DNS and pointing to the same IP value selected above. Best practice is to use an A record in DNS and point it to the primary site IP.
  

The site will now render for both the origional domain and the new alias. Use as many as required.
