From Windows Help:
To add an alias (CNAME) resource record to a zone
Open DNS.
In the console tree, click the applicable forward lookup zone.
DNS
applicable DNS server
Forward Lookup Zones
applicable zone
On the Action menu, click New Alias.
In the Alias name text box, type the alias name.
In the Fully qualified name for target host text box, type the fully qualified domain name of the DNS host computer for which this alias is to be used.
As an option, you can click Browse to search the DNS namespace for hosts in this domain that have host (A) records already defined.
Click OK to add the new record to the zone.
Note:
To open DNS, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS
Not much help, is it? A CNAME record in DNS creates an alias for the host other than the base name contained in an A record. If this isn't helpful, perhaps a bit more detailed information about what you're trying to accomplish would be in order...

ok I can now send mail from my new exchange 5.5 server but I cannot receive email. I am guessing that I need to have someone send me my mail, set it up like we have to set up the DNS servers. I am trying to do this without reading the documentation as I find it bloated and it takes too long. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to bug the guys that set up my DNS? Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I have a stand-alone home PC running Windows 2000 Professional. I've installed IIS service but it can't start.
I got the next message in Event log:
The World Wide Web Publishing Service service terminated with the following error:
The authentication service is unknown.
The same error is appeared when I try to start FTP or SMTP service. What's wrong? Please, help me to start IIS service on my home PC!
Yours sincerely,
Alex Bash

Any time I try to create a new website, or a new ftp site, the wizard pops up and all goes smoothly until I try to start it. When I attempt to start the new site, I receive the error message "A duplicate name exists on the server." It does not. And there are no clues other than this message. I've searched Technet for this exact message, but there is nothing in the Knowledge Base that matches this phrase, and any looser search returns only totally irrelevant articles. Is there an unmentioned limitation to one website and one ftp site in Win2K Server SP2? There are no duplicate names anywhere on the machine; not sites, folders, or files. Clues would be most welcome...

If there was, I don't think you would be the first person to find it.
I aint ever used 2k server apart from telnetin and pure Ftp.
But is it a duplicate name or a duplicate name space.
Talking about spaces, I hate the idea of using them in names.
I remember this use to screw an old DOS version bad.

Yes,when I try to create a new ftp site other than default ftp site in IIS,everything is ok,
But when I want to start it,errors pop up.
Are there any veteran web administrators who can give us some advices?

Each web-site in IIS must have a unique "address", which is a combination of:
- The IP address it listens to;
- The port it listens to - normally 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS;
- (For HTTP sites only) The Host Header name;
Assuming you are just setting up standard HTTP sites, you can host multiple sites on the same machine by changing one of these three parts.
Since you will probably be using a single IP address, and you don't want to change the port, this leaves the Host Header name. Set this to the domain part of your site's URL - for example, www.site1.com. Assuming the DNS for www.site1.com is pointing to your server, you will then be able to open http://www.site1.com in your browser and see the pages for Site 1.
If one site serves multiple URLs, you can add other entries by clicking the "Advanced" button in the properties of the site.
NB: If someone requests a URL which is pointing to your server, but the domain is not set up as a Host Header name, the request will be passed to the default site, which has no Host Header name set. The simplest way to deal with this is to create an "Under Construction" page as the only page in your default site.
FTP does not have the Host Header name, so if you need to host multiple FTP sites, you will either need to change the port, or configure multiple IP addresses on your machine.

Wow! You're a treasure trove of IIS information, Richard! Thanks! I'll give that a try. Not knowing what to do with the header name box, I just left it blank...
In the event that a company wants to set up multiple sites on an intranet, I assume then that the DNS entries would only have to be on the local DNS server, not on the public DNS system. That seems to be what Zhoujun is trying to accomplish.

Yep. You can even add entries to the "Hosts" file [C:\WinNT\System32\drivers\etc\hosts] to change the settings on a single machine, which is very handy if you need to test a site on your server before transferring the DNS.

I encounter problems when seting up ftp services and web services with my newly installed win2000 server.
what I want to do is:I have many users who want to publish their web applications,so I should create a respective directory for them,and each one get a user account to access their directory which others cannot access,in other words,they and only themselves can manage or control a server path,including upload,delete,mkdir etc. via ftp.
That is one aspect,another aspect is when they are ready finish preparing their web applications,their web access is open to everyone using browsers through visual path in default website or a new website.
I want your help.My english is not very good yet,but I really want your or others' help.

That's an entirely new and different problem than before... Very well stated, Zhoujun, and I'm having similar trouble myself. I can't find a thing in the documentation about how to do this. If you find out first, tell me, please!

Thanks, buddy! This is not a trivial problem, and the documentation is really bad. There's lots of it, but the content lacks any value.

I'm going back many years in old Network theory to the time of G-net. And I wonder if the same theory holds.
Make a User Directory, with a subdirectory. The individual users should only have the full permissions you want to give to their subdirectory.
Next give each of the users view/read permissions to their own user directory.
I always found mastering network stuff was easiset with several machines side by side, and a good swivel chair. Ouch !!!

Been there, done that. It doesn't work, so I burned the t-shirt.

- First, prepare the default FTP site.
- Apply all security patches
- Install IISLockdown.
- Make sure that write access is disabled.
- If possible, turn off annonymous access, otherwise make sure the anonymous account is not the IUSR_MachineName account.
- Create a user account with "Log on locally" priveleges, which will be used to upload the site.
- Create a directory for the web application. Preferably, nowhere near the wwwroot, ftproot or inetpub directories. Set the following NTFS permissions:
- The Administrators group and the upload account should have full control
- The IUSR_MachineName account should have read access.
- Nobody else should have any permissions. Specifically, if anonymous FTP access is allowed, the anonymous FTP account should not be able to read this directory.
- In the default FTP site, create a virtual directory pointing to the web application directory. Give it the same name as the upload user, and enable write access.
- Once the site is ready, create a new web-site pointing to the web application directory.
When the upload user logs in, IIS will automatically move them to the virtual directory with the same name as their user name.
Since the directory is a virtual directory, anonymous FTP users will not be able to see it.
The NTFS permissions won't allow anyone other than the upload user to access the directory, so other users won't be able to read or change the contents, even if they could guess the name.
By granting read access to the IUSR_MachineName account, anonymous users will be able to view the web site.
Hope this helps!

Thanks,Richard,
I follow the directions you give,
everything seems working well,
and finally,the ftp part works as I want to,
but when browsing to that website,I got error messages in IE browsers that said "access to directory is denied"?
by the way,I did not install IISLockdown since I thought it's an option,
and when setting the directory's NTFS permissions,I do like this:mouse right-click that directory,select the last item properties(R)(I don't know if I am right in translating the item name because what I am seeing is in chinese) from the pop-up menu,then select the security tab,then set permissions as you said,original it has everyone access rights,and I delete it.
I want your further help.

That usually means that the IUSR_MachineName account doesn't have enough permissions on the directory. Try giving it "Read", "Read & Execute" and "List Folder Contents" permissions. Also, click on the "Advanced" button on the security tab, and tick the box, "Replace permission entries on all child objects...".
IISLockdown isn't required, but I like to put it on every IIS server connected to the Internet as an extra security measure. Anything that helps keep hackers and viruses out can't be bad!

the account that u use to logon can be made part of the 'Administrator' group. I am not too sure. Perhaps from a domain part of you, that should work like making the domain user account part of Local Administrator and logging on with that, as we do. But since you do not have a domain controller in between, the account used to login to the other system must be part of 'Administrator' group.
