Redirecting requests for .htm files to .aspx files

Hi.

I have just rewritten a large site (600+ pages, a mixture of .htm and .html) so that there is now an .aspx page with exactly the same name as the original .htm(l) file for every page in the site. So for page1.htm there is now a page1.aspx, etc...

I beed to set up something in IIS (7.5) which I have admin access to, so that every request for pagex.htm or page x.html is redirected to pagex.aspx with a 301 permanent redirect.

Easy way to do this? Google offers confused and contradictory (and proprietary) solutions. As I have admin access to IIS, there must be a simple config I can perform?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I've come across both of these sites before. The first uses IIS6 (I have 7.5) and the dialogues don't resemble what I have. The second uses non-free proprietary software.

Is there no way of just using what IIS7.5 has?

This is now resolved.

I have installed the Url Rewrite Module and set an action on an Inbound Rule.

I am checking for the following regex pattern: (.*)\.htm.*

I am redirecting (301) to: {R:1}.aspx
