found a solution by importing the certs onto the temporary server. &nbsp; No naming issues as the DNS records were changed when the server was cutover

I am moving a few web servers to a new building and was planning on throwing a temporary web server up with a maintenance page. &nbsp;I have a Windows 2003 virtual machine with IIS6 and have everything pointing to this maintenance page. &nbsp;I had to mimic some of the virtual directories but basically got all the HTTP requests going there.<br />

HTTPS requests are bringing up a &quot;page can't be displayed&quot; page, which I am assuming is a client -side error. &nbsp;I have redirected all custom error pages to this maintenance page and cannot figure out how to get HTTPS requests to redirect to HTTP without having a certificate installed.

Redirect HTTPS requests to HTTP Maintenance Page

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

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.
