Hello everyone,
I need help with configuring the Web Server. Imagine having two servers and Windows Server 2016 Deskstop Experience installed on both. Server A with IP address 10.0.0.1 has AD and DNS installed, domain is somedomain.com . Server B with IP address 10.0.0.2 needs to have a web server (IIS) on port 8888 / TCP and I need to create alias www. So when I type in www.somedomain.com in my web browser, I can get my website. Am I doing alias on server A, since DNS is installed on this server, or do I have to somehow add server B to DNS Manager? I tried to do nslookup on server B, does it see alias www on server A but it doesn't. I'm doing all this for the server configuration exercise. Every help is welcome :)

 
The DNS alias (CNAME) would be set on the DNS server. That name is what you configure as the binding to access the correct site on the IIS server.
