Reply Contact Even if it is (I think it would be), I'm not sure I'd try it.  Way too many possibilities exist to trust an automated option flat out.  If the sites have identical settings, it may be easy, if not, you're looking at a long weekend...  :) Jeff Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com

Reply Contact Most of the sites are identical.  Actually, most of the sites are redirects.  My big concern isn't the automation, it is functionality of the sites coming from a 32 bit platform to x64 platform.  Are there any issues there?  I'm assuming that I will have to change the app pool to run in a 32 bit mode, but other than that..are there any gotchas?

Reply Contact Testing isn't a problem.  I have tested msdeploy when moving from IIS 6 to 7 on 32 bit, but haven't tested the migration to x64.  I was hoping there was someone who has migrated from IIS 6 on 32 bit to IIS 7 on x64 that could share some insight.
