Redirecting A sharepoint webpage

[Dots]

I want my users to be able to just type in Http://PMO and get to my default
web site of
http://servername/sites/MS_ProjectServer_PublicDocuments/projects/default.aspx

I am not familiar with redirection of this sort but know that it can be
done... my previous company's IT group used to do it for us many times.

Can you advise with best steps to accomplish this?
Thanks,
D.

Faisal,
Your response seems to address redirection of Http://servername/projectserver.

I want to be able to redirect the address
http://servername/sites/MS_ProjectServer_PublicDocuments/projects/default.aspx

I don't think creating an alias for http://server/projectserver will
accomplish this. What can I do to redirect the specific address I mention
above?
Thanks/
D.

you didn't get it. I gave you idea based on my understanding that you know
IIS well. You can redirect to a virtual directory
(http://servername/projectserver in my case ) or to a specific webpage
(http://..../projects/default.aspx in your case)


Anyway here are the details:

1. Create an alias in DNS for PMO & redirect it to SERVERNAME
2. In IIS on SERVERNAME server, place a file under the root folder location
of that site.
3. Go to the properties of that site in IIS & go to Documents tab
4. Make sure the file you added is at the top of the list under 'Enable
default content page'. If its not listed there then add it.
5. In IIS select the file you added under the same site & click properties.
6. On the file page, select 'A redirection to a URL' & type your complete
URL below.
7. Click OK & now try to access site http://PMO
