Disable LoopBack Check

Common problem with deployments on SharePoint is that when you try to browse to the server loopback on any dns name that isn’t the server name itself the server will stop you and it looks like a Kerberos error initially. To disable these checks can be done easily and in true Ninja fashion by PowerShell script….check it out:

The first option is more secure as you only grant access to the host names specified, the second option gives access to the server on any hostname so is less secure.

 

New-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 -Name BackConnectionHostNames -Value "password.mim.ninja","portal.mim.ninja" -PropertyType MultiString -Force

New-ItemProperty HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa -Name "DisableLoopbackCheck" -value "1" -PropertyType dword

 

You can have as many host names as you like in the first script, MS recommends only using the 2nd option in development environments.
