Hello all,

Hope to get some help here.

How do you see/access the sites in an on prem 2007 SharePoint Server which does not have internet access?

Even the internet is turned off on this server, shouldnt I still be able to see the sharepoint sites which were created in this server? I am not well versed in on prem sharepoint. I cant figure out how to see any content in this server?

Any help would be greatly apperciated.

Thanks,
Drake

It’s a website, coming from an Internet web server, that has no connection to the Internet…right? Unless you have an offline viewer installed on the server to read/view the content saved within, this isn’t going to work.

@drake464, I ran into a similar roadblock a while back at a previous job. We had Federal regulations that prevented us from having data online at the time. Back then, SharePoint was fully functional without Internet, you just need to hit it over your LAN.

Verify IIS and Web App Is Running

  • RDP or log in to your SharePoint 2007 server
  • Open IIS Manager
  • Under Sites, make sure your SharePoint web application is listed and in the “Started” state
  • Note the port (usually 80) and any host header something like sharepoint.company.local

Review Alternate Access Mappings

  • Go into Central Administration → Operations → Alternate Access Mappings.
  • Confirm your “Public URL” matches what you’ll type in your browser (e.g., http://sharepoint.local on the Default zone).

Make Sure Your PC Can Resolve the SharePoint Hostname

  • If you have an internal DNS, verify there’s an A record pointing sharepoint.local (or whatever name you chose) to your SharePoint server’s IP.

Hope this helps. :slight_smile:
