Hi guys,
I run IIS and DNS server on the same box, I can set sub-domains for my domains on DNS server, but my pages don't serve without the www. prefix, how can I set my domains to run without it?

I've been reading about it, some say it has to do with LDAP, but found no direct or clear answer.

Don't know that much about DNS windows servers, but I usually create a zone for  *.example.com that picks up all sub domains that are not explicitly defined. www is just another subdomain after all.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Though what dpyers set is what you have to do, if you create a "A Host Record" of * pointing to the same IP adress it should.

It makes sence, but doesn't work.
Strange. Going to read more on this.
