Hi,
I have tested it on my lab with windows server 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5. The URL rewrite works for me. You can try installing it via web platform installer.
<outboundRules> <rule name="changeServerHeader"> <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Server" pattern=".*" /> <action type="Rewrite" value="Hello sven, This is iis web server." /> </rule>

Hi,
Some confusion happened. For IIS 8.x you can use either URL rewrite rule or custom module to remove server header from HTTP response header.Details on setting up custom Module - www.dionach.com/blog/easily-remove-unwanted-http-headers-in-iis-70-to-85
The typical URL rewrite rule looks like this

URL rewrite works till IIS 8.0 only. (http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) not for IIS 8.5
And Dionach link is missing the EXE and no customer would install/run the 3rd-party exe on server.

As far as I know URL rewrite works with IIS 8.5 as well.
Download it from here
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
or if you already have Web Platform Installer on your machine you can install if from there.Sunday, June 21, 2015 8:07 AM -
