I wrote the post (Fully configure host header for Web application) 2 months ago in order to facilitate how to use host header for your Web application. Using host header allows you to make more easier using SharePoint for end-user. They just need to use friendly URL instead of remembering port number of URL.
In this post, let me share the PowerShell code I made today. PowerShell has a seduction that makes you love when you are in which.
The PowerShell helps you the following:
- Automatically create new Web Application with Host Header
- Automatically create new Site collection in the Web Application
- Automatically remove and then add new binding IIS Web Server
- Automatically create new Host A record in DNS

You can`t create site that has the same url as url of host header site collection…!
Hi Blatnis,
Thanks for your commend. I only provided this script after I got it done. Just try and let me know if it doesn’t work for me.
