Chapter 12: Deploying Medium <strong>and</strong> Large Server Farms 313<br />

Note If the server has Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration<br />

enabled, you must add each server’s administration website to Internet<br />

Explorer’s Trusted Sites list.<br />

Now that the portal site is created, it should be verified to ensure it is functioning<br />

properly.<br />

Open Internet Explorer. In the address bar, type the address of the portal site<br />

you created (for example, http://cluster.sps.test.local). It should look similar to<br />

Figure 12-32.<br />

Figure 12-32 The successfully created portal site<br />

Configuring Alternate URLs<br />

The portal site has been created but is accessible only by the URL http://cluster.sps<br />

.test.local. This URL is the default portal URL <strong>and</strong> is used for crawling portal site<br />

content, but a different URL can be configured to allow easier access by end users.<br />

An alias record should be created in DNS for the URL end users will access, <strong>and</strong> that<br />

address should be specified in Alternate Access Mappings (shown in Figure 12-33)<br />

in SharePoint Central Administration.
