Recently built another sp 2007 server, however I've just noticed that the IIS Name for the server is not the same as the server name. Server name is ServerXXXXXXX-01 and the IIS name is ServerXXXXXXX-0. I don't know how this happened but the problem is that i cannot access pages as http://serverXXXXXXX-01 from anywhere but the server itself. I tried renaming the IIS Server in IIS 7 but then I got a whole host of application errors in the log. I'm guessing i can probabaly have the network guys create a dns entry or something. Any recommendations from anyone?

Hi Alex, The NetBIOS name of a computer is limited to 15 bytes, which is 15 characters in this case. That is why serverXXXXXXX-01 was shortened to serverXXXXXXX-0. You could try to create a DNS record to point to serverXXXXXXX-0 and see if it is helpful. Or if it is a brand new setup, I suggest you to reinstall the OS and start from scratch because there may other potential issues which I am not aware of.
