You have a SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) server farm. The farm contains a web
application named WebApp1. Users access WebApp1 by using the URL http://webapp1. You need to
ensure that you can access WebApp1 by using the URL http://webapp2. What should you do? (Each
correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)
A.
From Windows PowerShell, run the New-SPAlternateUrl -Url http://webapp2-WebApplication
http:// webapp1-Zone Intranet cmdlet.
B.
From Windows PowerShell, run the Set-SPAlternateUrl -Identify htto://webapp1 -Url
http://webapp2 -zone Intranet cmdlet
C.
To WebApp1, add a managed path named WebApp2.
D.
To the site bindings of WebApp1, add the host name WebApp2.
E.
Create a new web application named http://webapp2.
Explanation:
The New-SPAlternateUrl cmdlet creates a new public or internal URL for the specified Web
application zone or resource. Use the ResourceName parameter if the alternate URL is for an
external resource.
Each Web application can be associated with a collection of mappings between internal and public
URLs. Both internal and public URLs consist of the protocol and domain portion of the full URL; for
example, https://www.fabrikam.com. Users type a public URL to get to the SharePoint site, and that
URL appears in the links on the pages. Internal URLs are in the URL requests that are sent to the
SharePoint site. Many internal URLs can be associated with a single public URL in multiserver farms;
for example, when a load balancer routes requests to specific IP addresses to various servers in the
load-balancing cluster.
Each Web application supports five collections of mappings per URL; the five collections correspond
to five zones (default, intranet, extranet, Internet, and custom). When the Web application receives
a request for an internal URL in a particular zone, links on the pages returned to the user have the
public URL for that zone.
——————EXAMPLE———————–
#create the public URL
New-SPAlternateURL https://www.contoso.com -Zone “Internet”
#create the internal URL
New-SPAlternateURL http://sharepoint.contoso.com –Zone “Internet” -internal
This example translates incoming requests for https://www.contoso.com into
http://sharepoint.contoso.com (on the Internet zone).
When a reverse proxy is being set up to handle public URL SSL termination, alternate access
mappings must be configured to handle the URL translation.
