Hi,

Something like this should work:

<rule name="folder redirect" stopProcessing="true">

    <match url="oldfolder/(.*)" />

    <action type="Redirect" url="http://newdomain.com/newfolder/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" />

</rule>

Hi,

Yes, it can work in iis 7. Please refer to the rule below:

 <rule name="rewrite new folder" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="docs(.*)" />
      <conditions>
          <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www\.example\.com$" />
          <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^ON$" /> 
      </conditions>
      <action type="Redirect" url="https://www.eexxaa.com/documents/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />  
 </rule>

Hi,

I find you set the host_name pattern as "example.com" instead of www.example.com. Please make sure it is right. And I think you can enable Failed Request tracing in iis to troubleshoot it. For more information, you can refer here

http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/using-failed-request-tracing-to-trace-rewrite-rules

In addition, you can try changing the condition in the rule like this:

<conditions>
       <add input="{SERVER_PORT}" pattern="^443$" />
       and hostname condition here
</conditions>
