SharePoint redirect for site collections

SharePoint redirect for site collection is possible with IIS virtual site creation. This is not possible with AAM Configuration.

If you want users to use http://intranet.domain.com/ and have it forwarded to http://intranet.domain.com/sites/portal, there are several ways you can do it.

One easy way is to use IIS directly and not involve Sharepoint at all.

Create a new virtual server in IIS Manager (New Web Site) and give it a descriptive name like "Sharepoint Redirect".--> choose the default settings when running the wizard and select a local directory (any path is fine). -> after the virtual server is created, edit the properties, open the "Home Directory" tab and click "A redirection to a URL", then type your Sharepoint URL in the "Redirect to:" box.
