I am kind of stuck at a very small DNS issue, need help We have setup a remoteapp server which is working perfectly fine on this url https://servername/rdsweb. I want to pint it to a friendly name like https://remoteapp.mycompanyname.com. Will i have to create a (alias)Cname record for that ,iy yes, then how? Thanks

Might I ask what is your domain's name ? or the FQDN of the servername. (ie, servername.mycompanyname.com ?) If mycompanyname.com fit your domain's name you can make a A record in your main AD's zone. If it don't fit, you will have to make a new zone mycompanyname.com and make a A record there. If your user need that DNS resolution externaly and you use a public hoster for your DNS don't forget to add your public IP for that URL there. MCP | MCTS 70-236: Exchange Server 2007, Configuring

I cant provide you the exact domain name due to security reasons. We have a split DNS so we use domainname.local as internal and companyname.com as external .I dont want to host it externally,just internal but i want to redirect the servername.domainname.local to domainname.com. We have separate zones for every domain and they replicated with each other.

Hi, Since website is hosting by your internal server, and you want internal user to connect the website with an external domain name, you need to create an external domain zone on your internal DNS server. First, create a forward lookup zone, with the external domain name. Then, create a record and provide the internal IP address for your internal server. For more detailed information, please check the following blog on scenario 2. Its written by Ace Fekay-MVP.
