I have a website hosted on IIS which can accessed across the Local Area Network by using the IP address of the Server computer. But I can only access the website on client computers using http, when I use https I get security alert on the browsers as shown in the image below,
I even got a self signed certificate on the server computer and in the server computer I can use https without any security alert but I can't do the same on client computers on LAN. Is it possible to achieve that? If so please let me know. Thanks in advance :)

“I get security alert on the browsers.” The security alert is important, as it can tell you what might be wrong.

The error message is quite clear, that the machine with the browser opened did not trust the self-signed certificate. You either make that machine trust it (by installing it to that machine), or switch to a true certificate that is trusted everywhere.

Your certificate is not trusted by other computers, because they don't recognize you as a trusted authority, the solution is easy, even if you ask google it will respond with steps to do this (for chrome in this example):
Go to Chrome Settings.
Click on "advanced settings"
Under HTTPS/SSL click to "Manage Certificates"
Go to "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"
Click to "Import"
There will be a pop-up window that will ask you if you want to install this certificate. Click "yes".
Better idea maybe, instead of making them trust your self-signed certificate would be to generate a certificate by some verified authority.
I have recently generated a free certificate by the https://letsencrypt.org/ portal (and no, I do not have any interest in promoting it) except it's free and it simply works fine.
