Moving an IIS server? 1

[Scruby]

I am moving an IIS server (Windows 2000) from one server to another server (Windows 2000), Is there a way to migrate all the settings, accounts and all critical information to the new server? Or will I have to configure the new server from scratch?

Thank you in advance, Scruby

I had to do this to a web server running IIS 4.0 and Frontpage. It took two techs working on it in our "spare" time about 2 weeks to do about 150 sites. We had to do it by hand so for your sake I hope there is a tool to do this.

I have found a tool on Microsoft's website called IISV5Migraton Utility. I did not find it searching their website, but rather doing a search on Google for IIS 5 Migration tools, on Microsoft's website you will find the IIS6 tool. I have not yet used it, but it explains that you will select the source server and destination and it will migrate all settings and accounts without making any changes!

I do have it on my PC, so if you are interested email me at sandbergns@corning.com

This is the one I found, I hope you are able to use it.

Were you able to migrate the IIS? We tried on our end and it keeps failing when it writes the files to the target server. The error message is a generic VBScript error message referencing security and permissions....

I dont' have a need to at the moment but Scrubby may have.
