Question : 301 Redirect

In IIS, you have a few choices when directing an URL:
"The exact url entered above"
"A permanent redirection for this resource".

I rad somewhere that both need to be checked for a 301 re-direct.  Now they might have mis-typed it, etc because of the way it was worded.

Now I have a few websites & since they are different domains, I have them set up as "A permanent redirection for this resource" only and not using "The exact url entered above".  I cannot use this because some of the clients give out exacts URLS (like www.example.net/examplefolder/example.html) and therefor they do want ti to go to www.example.com/examplefolder/example.html and not just www.example.com

Thanks!

They do!

Right click the page you want redirected (in MMC) and go to properties. Under the file tab click the 'A redirection to a URL' button. Fill in the complete URL including the http:// and then click the checkbox for 'The exact URL entered above' and 'A permanent redirection for this resource.' This will give you a 301 redirect.
