Missing default roles

I have recently set up a Windows 2003 Server and IIS and am attempting to
migrate my web sites from my Windows 2000 server. I moved the first two
sites manually, then found out about the IIS migration tool and used it to
move two more sites. Upon examining these sites, however, I found that the
default roles (Administrator, Author, Browser, etc) were missing on all of
the sites. I can recreate the roles and everything seems to work OK, but I
don't relish the idea of having to do this for 75 more sites. Any ideas as
to what is going wrong and how I can fix it?

IIS does not have the notion of "Roles" and hence IIS Migration Tool
cannot migrate settings it knows nothing about.

This is really a FPSE migration issue. There may be some magic within
FPSE to script your desired changes but I'm not familiar with FPSE.
