Disable Loop Back Check in SharePoint

When you access SharePoint web apps from the SP sever, it keeps on prompting for authentication. I wish the installation of SharePoint could have taken care off. 

Anyways, you can run this to apply the change on the SharePoint servers.

Run this power shell command


New-ItemProperty HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa -Name "DisableLoopbackCheck" -value "1" -PropertyType dword
 
You may have to restart the servers and will have run this from all of your SharePoint servers.

You can also navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa in registry and create the dword32 for DisableLoopbackCheck, modify the value to 1.

I would prefer to use Power Shell any given day.
