    CASE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT:

    RESOLUTION:
    —————————————————–
    -Kevin wanted to remove the SharePoint team site from the Root of an Extended Team site without Un-extending the Team site.
    -Assisted him in removing [Root] from the URL namespace that are managed by Windows SharePoint Services, also assisted him in setting up a new top-level Web site (Kevin).
    -Removed SharePoint from a new Site http://Teas-207:82 and set up http://Teas-207:82/Kevin
    -Kevin was able to browse to http://Teas-207:82/kevin successfully
    -He was also able to browse to Default.asp page that he had set up as the Default Content page for the root of the http://Teas-207:82 site.
    -Kevin agreed to close the case.
    ——————————–Resolution—————————————–
    -Ran the IIS manager.
    -Unextended the Site at Default Web Site.
    -Created a new Site in IIS at port 82 :- (SharePoint) Changed the path of the Home directory to point to the location on the Local Drive containing the Asp Page.
    -Checked the Properties of the SharePoint site and moved the Default.asp page in Enable Default Content page to the top.
    -Extended the SharePoint Site.
    -Browsed to the SharePoint Central Admin Page > Virtual Server settings and clicked on SharePoint.
    -On the Virtual Server Settings page Clicked on Define managed paths
    -Added Kevin in the (Add a New Path ) Path description and clicked on Included path (Radio Button) and selected it as Type - Explicit Inclusion.
    -On the same page Under the Included Paths Select Root and Click on the link Remove selected paths.
    -This will remove the team site from the path http://teas-207:88
    -We then browsed to the Central Admin page and clicked on Configure virtual server settings page.
    -Clicked on SharePoint
    -Clicked on the Link Create top-level Web site under the section Virtual Server Management.
    -Under the section Web Site Address > Click on radio Button -Create site at this URL and drop down and select Kevin in the Drop down list.
    -This will extend the site http://teas-207:88/kevin
    -Now if you browse to http://teas-207:88/kevin you will get a SharePoint Team site.
    -When you browse to http://teas-207:88 you will get your default page i.e. Default. asp.
