  Source (archiveDir) and destination (metaKey) are not compatible for given operation. Migrating from IIS 6 to IIS 7 Reply Contact Hi I am trying to migrate a site with the msdeploy tool in hopes that I can migrate 600+ more sites systematically. I am struggling trying to get this to work. I have ran the sync command, moved my content files and then I am able to run the msdeploy -verb:migrate -source:archivedir=c:\backup_name -dest:metakey=lm/w3svc/# siteidentifier (msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:archivedir=d:\siteArchives -dest:metakey=lm/w3svc/986238554 > webdeployarchive.log msdeploy -verb:migrate -source:archivedir=d:\archiveWebsites -dest:metakey=lm/w3svc/986238554 -verbose  > msdeploymigrate.log)  but nothing has generated. What am I doing wrong? I am working with a test web site. in the log I receive the error ( Fatal: Source (archiveDir) and destination (metaKey) are not compatible for given operation.  Change count: 0 Fatal count: 1) This a fresh install of IIS7 so I only have the default sites.  I would like to be able to keep the site identifier from IIS 6 on this server also.  I am new to the IIS7 stuff but I have 600+ web sites that I need to migrate from a IIS6 server to this new IIS7 server and wonder how and what is the best approach. I have the following dependencies but they are common and I am not sure how to check that they are all there. dependencies dependency name=”AnonymousAuthentication” / dependency name=”WindowsAuthentication” / dependency name=”IPSecurity” / dependency name=”ServerSideIncludeDisabled” / dependency name=”ASP” / dependency name=”AspNet1.1″ / /dependencies Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

  Re: Source (archiveDir) and destination (metaKey) are not compatible for given operation. Migrating from IIS 6 to IIS 7 Reply Contact I think I have it figured out. I am not sure why I keep getting that.   Thanks for your response. -failureLevel:Never is the key to step over the dependencies you have one machine and no longer need on the other. To use the remote server allows no archive on the servers msdeploy -verb:migrate -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/986238554,computerName=compName,username=username,password=password  -dest:metakey=lm/w3svc/986238554 -failureLevel:Never > msdeploymigrate4.log OR another way is  To make an archive from existing server msdeploy -verb:sync  -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/754995972 -dest:archivedir=e:\archWebsite2  > msdeploymigrate2.log to load to new server msdeploy -verb:migrate -source:archivedir=d:\archWebsite2 -dest:metakey=lm/w3svc/754995972 -failureLevel:Never > msdeploymigrate22.log

Are you trying to sync an archivedir to a metakey or something different?

  Re: Source (archiveDir) and destination (metaKey) are not compatible for given operation. Migrating from IIS 6 to IIS 7 Reply Contact Once you have the archive you dont need to specify the destination. You can use the auto keyword for deployment msdeploy -verb:sync -source:archiveDir=C:\ApplicationName -dest:auto Please let us know if you need any more info and remember to mark the response if it works for you.

  Re: Source (archiveDir) and destination (metaKey) are not compatible for given operation. Migrating from IIS 6 to IIS 7 Reply Contact I tried the following and it works for me: I created an app on IIS 6.0 App1 under "Default Web Site" and created an archivedir as msdeploy -verb:sync -source:contentPath="Default Web Site/App1" -dest:archiveDir=C:\App1 and deployed it onto a Vista box with IIS 7.0 as                                                              msdeploy -verb:sync -source:archiveDir=C:\app1 -dest:auto,computername=servername Can you try syncing directly without using an archive msdeploy -verb:sync -source:contentPath="Default Web Site/App1" -dest:auto,computername=servername
