&lt;p&gt;source server:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;H:\&amp;gt;msdeploy -verb:migrate -source:metaKey=lm/w3svc/909943113 -dest:archivedir=C&lt;br /&gt;:\z_matrix,encryptPassword=password -disableLink:contentExtension -enableLink:Ap&lt;br /&gt;pPoolExtension -verbose &amp;gt; msdeploy.log&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;dest server:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy&amp;gt;msdeploy -verb:sync -source:archivedir&lt;br /&gt;=C:\z_matrix,encryptPassword=password -replace:objectName=metaproperty,match=&amp;quot;D:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;\\Inetpub_test&amp;quot;,replace=&amp;quot;C:\inetpub_test&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot; -dest:metaKey=lm/w3svc/909943113 -verb&lt;br /&gt;ose &amp;gt; msdeploysync.log&lt;br /&gt;Error:&amp;nbsp; The device is not ready.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Error count: 1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;here is what the log shows:&lt;/p&gt;
