moving WSS

To move an entire WSS implimentation to a new server (using the desktop
engine), I first used IISback.vbs to back up the metabase on the old server,
which I then restored on the new server. Then I followed the directions in
KB article 833797 to back up the content database, and restored it on the new
server as well. Then I copied all the web.config files in the wwwroot folder
over to their appropriate locations on the new server.

All the content seems to have transfered fine, but the webparts in the sites
show the "cannot be displayed because it is not registered on this site as
safe" error message. From what I've read, this error message can be the
result of problems in several different places. Where should I start looking?

Does this happen with all web parts? If you have installed third part web
parts re install them on your new server. That will make sure they get into
the GAC or Bin directory and that they get registered correctly in
web.config.

It does this with all web parts, even Task List and Document Library. There
are no third party web parts that I know of...
