I'm facing with the following IIS issue:
From DC01 and external networks, i can access the website with the external domain like: https://app.domain.com/application
But from AS01 and workstations on the LAN, i cannot access the website with the external domainname
Setup:
DC01 (192.168.1.2) < domaincontroller with DNS (a record is added: app.domain.com to external IP)
AS01 (192.168.1.4) < ISS and website running on this machine
The whole firewall is temporary disabled
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance
Disabled firewall
Add DNS a record

I have been at this since last couple of weeks. After tiring efforts leading to nowhere, I am posting here.
I have a Website built and hosted in IIS locally. I just bought domain name from GoDaddy. I have my computer's public IP where the website in IIS is present. What are my next steps so that I can keep my computer as server and link with domain name? So that website is accessible publicly through domain name.
I saw a lot of posts with Web Hosting in Azure or other places, do I HAVE TO buy and host to make my site public?
I am a novice website builder and have very limited knowledge about this.
first you need make sure your sever is secured, only open necessary ports
go to another computer, in browser input public ip to see if you can open your webpage
then in Godaddy you can add A record for your domain, to point your domain to your public IP, refer to this GoDaddy document: https://ca.godaddy.com/help/add-an-a-record-19238
If you are not comfortable or don't resource to do these, I suggest you host on Azure or other cloud providers
You could host your application in either Azure VM or your local machine. After all, Could VM should be more convenient because you don't need spend a lot of time to handle network issue and you don't need physical space.
When you decide to host your application locally, you have to ensure your are using windows server OS, otherwise, you have 10 concurrent request limit.
Access the application via domain is quite simple.
You need to enable port like 80 in windows firewall.Promise your server are in DMZ and can be accessed externally
Create IIS binding header with null domain and your public address
Try to access your website via your public IP address
Point godday domain to your public IP address
Add your domain to your Site's binding host header->host name field
If you decide to host your application in IAAS like Azure VM, then you have to create inbound rule for your port number and allow port in windows firewall. You also have to point your godday domain to your cloud VM's public IP address and create IIS binding with your domain. Finally, you should be able to access your website.
I want to deploy a website on azure IIS by using server 2016(Azure VM), and want to access it anywhere on the internet. How can I do this?
Which ip address I've to use for this purpose?
There are several steps to acheive this deployment on IIS.
1.Install IIS on azure VM.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/premier-developer/set-up-iis-on-windows-virtual-machine/
2.Create a website for publish
Please remember to grant permission for authenticated user like IUSR and application pool identity
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/323972/how-to-set-up-your-first-iis-web-site
3.Set Azure VM firewall to allow your port like 80
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/nsg-quickstart-portal
4.Publish your website.
You could achieve this via simple copy action in Remote desktop or VS web deployment
Just ensure your website can be accessed via telnet or tcping.exe. I remember ping is blocked by Azure VM.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/publish-web-app-from-visual-studio
5.Try to access from both internal IP address and external firewall IP address.
If you could access from internal IP which means your IIS site has been built correctly.
If the website can be access from external. Then you have finished the publish.
6.If you want to access website from public domain.
Then you have to purchase domain name from public domain provider. Then bind your domain to your public IP address on their portal. As long as the website can be accessed from external. It would work with domain name.
I'm going to host a web site in one of my computers toaccess it from the another computer. (Same local network) This what I have done so far.
Step 1 : Host the web site in IIS.
Step 2 : Using "Edit bindings" I changed the host name.
Step 3 : Then I changed the host file located at "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc"
192.168.8.100 mylocalhost.com
Step 4 : Turn off both private and public windows firewalls. (I know this is bad. But for now its fine. I can add inbound rules after resolving this issue)
I try to access to the url http://mylocalhost.com:8082 using hosted environment. It is success, but when I try to access that url from the other computer(in the same local network) it cannot be access. Without the above binding name (mylocalhost.com), I can access to the web site using http://192.168.8.100:8082
I want to access to the website using a url with any computer/mobile device connected to the local network. Can anyone show me a direction to resolve my issue?

Your problem is step 3 - your assumption that the host file on a single client computer will apply to all computers on your network. You need a server of some description for the behaviour you describe.
A hosts file is only used by that single computer to resolve or override dns. Each computer has it's own file and there is no default way of sharing this file with other computers on the network. Your choices are:
Add the host file entry to each device.
Setup a DNS server. your router might support this, and is likely providing the DNS server to your clients via DHCP so no additional config would be nessersary. Just login to its web interface and configure the dns name. If your router cant do it for you you would need a DNS service running on one of your computers and then configure either your routers dhcp/dns to use this new DNS service, or manually configure all clients to use the new DNS for their DNS resolution.
Setup an active directory server and join all your pcs to the domain (setting up AD includes a DNS server).
Some Public DNS providers allow you to specify a private ip in public dns. So assuming you owned the domain example.com you might be able to create an A record my.example.com for your 192.168.8.100 ip address. This would be public, but only devices on your private network would actually be able to connect to your server (ie different physical computers/networks that happen to use the same internal ip).
On Azure (through portal)
Created Virtual Machine with a Static IP, data disk, and opened ports
Then remote desktop - Install IIS and FTP, ports opened in firewall
(can successfully connect via ftp client)
Created a Public Load Balancer with a Static IP with Probes and Rules
(can connect with ftp client through load balancer ip address fine)
(if I enter ip address of load balancer in browser I can view the default iis website fine) (at moment there is only one vm in virtual machine set)
Added a couple of websites in IIS, one a .net app, and the other with just some hello world .html files to test connectivity via domain name. I set bindings to host name for websites with and without www. and IP address set to all (*). restarted websites.
Created a couple of Azure DNZ Zones with A Records pointing to the Load Balancer IP address. Changed name servers on domain register to point to the azure dns servers.
However, this is where it stops. A browser cannot get to either website and I get a '500' error. dns propogation check tools verify that the nameservers are reaching azure for domain names.
There must be something really basic I am missing (???) It is as if DNS resolution is stopping at the virtual machines. Any suggestions.
If you are Configuring multiple websites in a IIS of VM and also you want to map them for different domain name, then you need to Configure Host Header for all websites in IIS (Please find below links for this) and also need to update same A Record for all your websites at you Domain provider setting.
This will work if you have separate Domain Names registered else it will not work.
Without domain name you can deploy websites on different ports in IIS and then configure custom domain in Azure Load Balancer NAT rules.

This was my fault in some missing hyphens in the zone record. The other .net website was throwing 500 errors sometimes instead of error-name-not_resolved from incomplete nameserver propogation and incomplete .net configuration for the website on VM
The host headers were set correctly including www.xxx.com and .xxx.com variants for both port 80 and port 443, and I did have the 'A' records with both # and www variants in the zone set to the IP of the load balancer correctly.
For anyone else with these issues, when checking for localhost connectivity test on your virtual machine (assuming you are hosting multiple sites), remember to add a virtual directory in IIS manager pointing to the file location along with an alias.
While a learning curve, the whole infrastructure of Azure is quite amazing! Impressed.
I am able to access my website via the domain name outside of the network.
On the internal network I am able to access the site via "localhost/websiteName/", "internalIP/websiteName", and "computerName/websiteName", but I am unable to hit either "http://example.com" or "http://www.example.com".
I was able to get it to work on a computer by adding the ip and website to the hosts file, but I am still unable to access the website using the domain via mobile devices on the internal WiFi.
I completely disabled the firewall, so I know that that is not the problem.
I have bindings set up for www and without www with all IP Adresses unassigned.
I did try adding a binding for both www and not, using the internal and external IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6.
I am running this on http without any certificates.
I have a cname record for www
My # record is pointing to my external, static IP
The website is set up separately from the default website and it is not a virtual directory.
I am using Comcast Business with their Cisco DPC3939B router.
This is initial setup of the website, and it is not an issue that just started after having worked previously.
I figured it out. All I did was add an # record to the DNS to resolve the website to the internal IP. Here is a really great reference for accessing websites on a Local Network: devside.net
