How to show page under construction on iis 6.0

Hello,

I've been asked to bring a website down by the President. The site is hosted on IIS 6.0 and is hosted internally to the network. The site should be running but when the people go to www.mydomain.com the page should display "Page under construction".
How do i do this?

Create a default document (default.html) with your under construction message and place that in the web root of your website on the server. Make sure there are no other default documents sitting in that web root and that should get you sorted.

I have many documents in the root directory of the www. I created a default.html and placed it in there and i go to the website and it displays normally.
