    IIS6 to IIS7 migration

    Reply Contact

    Hi,

     We have all our sites on a 2003 server running IIS6.

     We wish to migrate all these sites (including app pools, user accounts, ftp details but NOT content to our new 2008 server running iis7 and ftp7.5.  Thje content will be migrated first separately.  We also wish to replace all IP addresses with a new one.

     We wish to do this via the archive/package method.

     I have tested the deploy tool and can migrate basic site definitions but app pools, users and ftp accounts don't seem to migrate at all.

    Please  can someone advise as to what commands we need to use.

    Thanks.

    Nathan

    You can migrate app pools by enabling AppPool extension. You can migrate everything without content by disabling Content extension:

     -enableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension

    Unofrtunately, MSDeploy cannot migrate Windows users and FTP accounts.

    Thanks,

     Thanks for your response.

     I am sure that I have seen somewhere in this forum that the ftp service can be migrated.  Perhaps I imagined it!

     Is there any way of migrating windows users accounts (non active directory) from one server to another?

     Thanks.

    MSDeploy supports migration of permissions on content and configurations but not the migration of the user account themselves.

    For migrating user account you can use some tool such as the USMT

    Once the accounts have been migrated then you can use the includeAcls provider settings to migrate the user permissions. You can read more about this provider setting here

    However please note that since these are non AD windows user accounts, for includeAcls to work the SIDs for the users should match on the source and destination
