Broken links in IIS Reference docs

I was helping someone research an issue and found the links to INativeConfiguration* in iis-docs/iis/web-development-reference/native-code-api-reference/ihttpserver-getconfigobject-method.md at main · MicrosoftDocs/iis-docs (github.com) are broken.
They all point to https://msdn.microsoft.com/ef29f2da-90b4-be7d-e59b-83fa1799f477

Does anyone know if the sources for the MSDN docs are available and if we could move it to the current docs?

@Rick-Anderson, there was an email thread from 1/29 on the MSDN archive along with details and contacts that might be helpful.

It looks like a reduced portion of the content exists archived here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/technet-wiki/

Thanks @wadepickett, I'm still seeing most of the links to INativeConfiguration are broken (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/search/?dataSource=previousVersions&terms=INativeConfigurationSystem).

Did you find one that worked?

I did not find one that worked. It looks like any topic that had absolutely zero traffic for a while was not included in the narrower archive set currently available.

I will forward the archiving details and contacts offline so you can see what happened.
