How to Create and Configure a Virtual Server in IIS

You will use IIS to create your new virtual server. You must also need to configure the security settings for your virtual server.

To create a virtual server on Windows Server 2003, Standard or Enterprise Edition
1. Click Start, point to Administration Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS).
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to the server name that you want to add the virtual server to.
3. Right-click Web Sites, click New, and then click Web site.
4. Click Next.
5. In the Description box, type the description of your virtual server, and then click Next.
6. In the Enter the IP address to use for this Web site box, select the IP address you want to use.
7. In the TCP port this web site should use (Default: 80) box, type the port number to assign to the virtual server, for example 81.
8. In the Host Header for this site (Default: None) box, type the header you want to use (if any), and then click Next.
9. In the Path box, type the path to the network share where the site content will go.
10. If you do not want to allow anonymous access to your virtual server, clear the Allow anonymous access to this Web site check box.
11. Click Next.
12. On the Web Site Security Credentials panel, verify that the Always use the authenticated users credentials when validating access to the network directory check box is selected, and then click Next.
13. On the Permissions panel, select the permissions to use, and then click Next.
If other users are allowed to contribute to the site, you must select at least the Read, Write, and Browse check boxes. If your virtual server allows scripts to be run, you must also select the Run scripts (such as ASP) check box. If you want to allow ISAPI applications or CGI scripts to be used on your virtual server, you must also select the Execute (such as ISAPI applications or CGI) check box.
14. Click Finish.
