Creating Sites
After following the steps just shown, you are ready to create sites for your users.
This is the last step in the process for setting up your intranet/extranet server farm.
After this step, you can start adding users and managing the sites.
To create a site
1. Open a command prompt window, and navigate to the \Program Files
\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\bin folder.
2. Run the following command to create a site:
stsadm.exe -o createsite -url -ownerlogin
-owneremail [-ownername -lcid
-sitetemplate -title -description ]
Repeat this step for every site you want to create. Note that because both your
intranet and extranet virtual servers connect to the same content database, the same
sites are available in each environment.
Your server farm is now set up for serving the same content on both an intranet and
extranet. You can start adding users and managing sites, or you can perform the following
optional, but recommended, steps:
■ You should help protect your administration virtual server either by using a
firewall to block access or by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the port.
■ As your sites increase in number and size, you will want to be able to add content
databases or change connections to the content databases.
