Windows Server 2012 R2 HTTP Redirect
Here are my steps to help you to both enable and use HTTP redirect so you can redirect from a web folder to another location without relying on a client-side redirect:
- Go to Server Manager
- Click Add roles and features
- Click Server Selection
- Select a server from the server pool
- Next
- In tree nav, go to Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Common HTTP Features
- Check the checkbox beside HTTP Redirection
- Click Next until it continues through installation
- Close
- Go to IIS Manager
- Drill down to the folder of interest
- Double-click the HTTP Redirect icon in the right pane under IIS that now shows up
- Enter necessary info
- Click Apply on the far right
