Hi all, We have an issue with resolving Localhost in IIS<br />
<br />
We have recently setup several Virtual Images with Different OS, &quot;Windows 7, 2003 R2,and XP Pro&quot; We sysprep'd the images and made available for deployment in VMM Server<br />
<br />
However, &nbsp;we have an issue with all the images not being able to resolve Localhost, nor 127.0.0.1 through IIS<br />
<br />
We can resolve localhost by Pinging the address. We have disabled the Fireall, &nbsp;commented out the line in Hosts file, and added localhost to header in IIS to test, but still will not work<br />
<br />
Any thoghts on what could be the problem.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
