When I install Web Developer 2010 Express it activates IIS for me, fine. So I have content on my LInux box, so I use /www with folder under it to host the various projects I work on. I see IIS supports vhosts so that is helpful.
So what permissions are needed to make folders and point domains to the appropriate place?
I've been sort of thrown into the 'deep end' when it comes to IIS (very little experience with it) and we are looking to setup a new webserver (Windows 2008/IIS 7.0). Our current webserver is Windows 2003/IIS 6.0. I've been looking at this site to try and
source some info to best advise how to migrate everything across to the new server. E.g - websites, virtual directories, webfiles etc.
Just wondering if someone can lead me in the right direction or provide any point form info on the process I need to undertake? I've tried the webdeploy/package process but that hasn't seemed to be successful at all.
I don't really want to have to do them manually if there's an automated way as I'm talking about 100 websites.
Thanks Tom. I have been reading up (as stated no/very little experience in with IIS) and have also tried the "msdeploy' tool.
I got an issue when I tried this cmd:
C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy>msdeploy -verb:getDependencies -source
:metakey=1m/w3svc/#siteidentifier
Error: Object of type 'metaKey' and path '1m/w3svc/#siteidentifier' cannot be created.
Error: The metabase key '/lm/w3svc/146173708' could not be found.
Error: The system cannot find the path specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800
70003)
Error count: 1.
I'd suggest you run
Metabase explorer to verify that the metabase key '/lm/w3svc/146173708' does exist. It is recommended you open a new thread in our Web
Deployment Tool forum. In this way, more community members will be able to see it and discuss it. Thanks.

Then I can retire the Linux box to other tasks.

Thanks Leo, I downloaded and installed that toolkit for IIS 6.0 and no metabase key '/lm/w3svc/146173708' is there.?? I will open up a new thread.
