    IIS 6 migrating to IIS 6 on a new server strategy?

    Hello,

    I hope someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

    I need to move the settings (IIS config, App Pools & ODBC) from our old websvr to a new websvr. Both have IIS and W2003. However, the old WebSvr has had the OS installed to c:windows.0 the new websvr is installed to the default path (c:windows). Dont ask why.. I can import the ODBC registry settings seperatley fine.

    I have tried to migrate the servers iis metabase using the encrypted password method but ran into problems with dll's being referenced to c:windows.0\ path. I manged to correct some but not all. I also had problems with iusr and iwam recreating the old computer name user accounts when iis was restarted. Despite using adsutil.vbs to change the anon & wam account and set the password to the new computer name. I have since reinstalled w2003 after editing registry values i thought its best to start from scratch.

    I think MSdeploy is the way fwd, but i wasnt sure which path i should go down migrate or sync? Once the new websvr is fully functioning the old websvr will cease to exist.

    My question is what will be the best way for me to use msdeploy in this instance.

    Your help would be much appreciated.

     Thanks

    Yes, MSDeploy is what you need. If you are syncing one IIS6 server to another IIS6 server, you will use verb:sync. verb:migrate helps in migrating from IIS6 to IIS7.

     Will this clear up any inssue with OS being installed on different directories?
    Would sync allow me to turn off the source IIS server it doesnt have a dependecny on it after sync does it?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Jinners,

    Yes, msdeploy will take care of different system directories on source and destination. You should test your destination server after sync is complete and make sure it works as expected. MSDeploy should be able to take care of everything and you should be able to turn off source server.

    Thanks,
    Kj
