Add host header value with æøå

When I try to add a domain with æøå (danish characters) in the
"Add/Edit Web Site Identification" I get the message:

" Please enter only characters A to Z, digits, '.' and '-' "

how can I add a domain name with æøå as a new web site identity?

Re: Add host header value with æøå

Hi morten,

DNS does not support hostnames with the characters you mention. There is an
RFC for a feature called "Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications
(IDNA)" that describes how to support non-ASCII characters in a hostname.
The spec is at: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3490.txt

Formal support for this will come with Windows Server 2008, per the article
at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/new_networ k.mspx

Until then, you can try to set up this host header by entering the punycode
representation for the hostname into the dialog. This may or may not work
on Windows 2003. Make sure that you are running at least SP2 to give
yourself the best chance.

Thank you,

Maybe it can be done through a script instead of the MMC IIS interface which
deals with input validation.
