Hi <br />
<br />
The easiest thing to do is to replace the default page with a newly created one liner.<br />
<br />
&lt;% Response.Redirect( url ) %&gt;<br />

That link shows you some simple but powerful things you could do. <br />

Thank you, that's all it was!! Removed port 80 forward to server and that's done the trick. Thanks to everyone else but this was by far the quickest and most straightforward answer.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
We've recently had a penetration test carried out on our network and a series of low risk issues were raised. One of them was that when you enter the external IP address of my clients 2011SBS server it comes up with the IIS7 welcome page, in their words &quot;this means that the web server has not been hardened&quot;. Their recommendation is to remove the IIS 7 welcome page and replace it with a redirect. &nbsp;Not being any good with IIS I was wondering if someone could give me a quick step by step guide on how to acheive this to get rid of this &quot;risk&quot;<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />

Redirect instead of IIS7 Welcome screen

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

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.
