Transferring IIS folders & settings to New Server

Hello All,

I have 3 Domain Controllers

DC1, DC2, and a new server: DC3

DC1 is the IIS

I want to move/copy the IIS and all of the files & security settings from
DC1 to DC3

Is there a way to easily move all of the files/folder to the NEW DC3, while
easily transferring all of the security settings as well?

Also: There are many 'virtual' folders, can they be easily moved, or do they
need to be RECREATED?

thanks...

IIS 6 can make an XML file with settings you can export and import. But
unless the file systems are very much the same (folder names, etc.) you
might have to still do some adjustments.

If the DCs are on the same domain, you can use tools like Xcopy to copy
permissions along with files. (RoboCopy does that too.)

I think there is a "migration tool" but have never used it. I just
completed moving 200 sites from one server to another, and it turned out to
be easier to re-create all the stuff on the new server than to try to copy
it intact.

Have a look at the following migration tool.
