    <rewrite>
      <rules>
			<rule name="WordPress: http://abc.com" patternSyntax="Wildcard">

Error 500 is pretty random, look in the error log of your IIS.

@astonecipher I am completely new to windows server could you pls explain in brief?

In IIS, go to that site and see where the logs are going. It is a site specific setting when it was created and added to the App Pool.
