Summary: This is what I call my Infra Toolbox. After working in IT Infra for over 25 years in all functions you can think of I think I know what you need to do to keep everything running smoothly. This is based on my own experience, both as a system administrator as well as a teamlead.

The major topics are:
- Datacenter services
- Platform services
- Infrastructure services

- Presentation services

Note that the overview does not really include scrum and devops practices. The overview if from a work environment before agile and devops principles were implemented on a broad scale. If you are working in a company that uses agile and devops, be sure to add things like, transparency, inspection and adaption, infra as code and automate everything into your environment as well.
Create Manual WebSite in IIS

I needed to create a redirect in a local environment, as a temporary solution, so end-users could access a specific website using a short url. The url was already made available through dns and was simply: http://applicationtest.
Note that if this is not already done you can add the following line in your hosts fileC:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
when testing:10.10.10.10 applicationtest
where 10.10.10.10 is the IP address of the server running IIS.
