What you'll do

In this lab the students will configure network load balancing in a network that contains two web servers.

  1. They will install Internet Information Services (IIS) on the web servers
  2. They will install load balancing using PowerShell and then they will configure the load balancer to balance network traffic to the web servers in the web farm
  3. The students will create custom load balancing rules and verify the traffic is being balanced according to the created rules
