There is a ton of information for people moving from IIS 6 to IIS 7 but not from IIS 5. Do you have or know of any tools that one could use inthis migration? I have about 700+ servers that I will need to migrate and I see no tools out there. Please help.

  Re: Migrating from IIS 5.0 to IIS 7.0 Reply Contact To be honest I havn't come across such a tool myself... but I did it manually in my scenario... IIS 5 migrations needs quite a bit of tweaking and it's usually app specific Also, make sure that your apps are actually capable of working on IIS 7 env.  Regards, MA Khan http://www.iisworkstation.com “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

  Re: Migrating from IIS 5.1 to IIS 7.0 Reply Contact I am not sure I am posting in the porper thread, but I believe it is related to the above posts. I think I need to install IIS 7. I DREAD doing that!!!!!!  IT IS A GUARRRRANTEED NIGHTMARE.  I am running VS 2008 3.5 AJAX on an IIS 5.1 on WIN XP SP3 I have been running great for a while now...(great means I have had a 100 obstacles to get around and understand about the ASP.NET 3.5 piggyback over ASP.NET 2.0) I thought all along that my IIS 7 had been installed(by me), because I had remembered reading that 3.5 ASP.NET requires it, but when I looked under the Help/About of IIS I see 5.1...??? But, here is my problem:  I started to get a bit fancy and developed pages that have popup windows with the  IE(8.xx) menu and tool bars turned off, and some timeout javascript that closes the window automatically after a certain delay. All good... functions well... but, all of the sudden, my VS debugger starts to end after a small delay of maybe 30secs to a minute or 2... EACH TIME I START IT. - I use the Start Debugging Option in the Debug menu - first page draws (a simple html) which loads a login aspx page(replace) - no timeouts are programmed in those 2 pages. - everything draws fine, no errors. I wait a bit and the debugger pops off the screen... Has anyone experienced that type of DEBUGGER behavior? Should I take the RISK of installing IIS 7? This may be related to my other post on this site which lays out all the technical information about my setup: IIS 7 - FRAMEWORK 3.5 - Debug fails to see javascript breakpoints... Thank you.

I believe the same method can be used to migrate to IIS 7. Look at the article here: http://programmersjournal.blogspot.com/2008/06/migrating-from-iis-5-to-iis-6-manual.html

  Re: Migrating from IIS 5.0 to IIS 7.0 Reply Contact ... I had meant to post my results a while back but I got busy and totally forgot. I did get a solution, I believe by setting IE8 to compatible mode. But now out of the blue... it fails again.  I have been running for months without a problem and here we go again, DEBUG times out! It's like Micorsoft's updates are screwing things up back and forth and there is no warning. I tried to find the compatible mode on IE8 again, but I do not recognize anything... they have made changes and I see no way to get around it now. The button on the end of the address bar was green but with 1 arrow pointing to the right, now it is a double arrow in a circle of motion(static), thus something has changed... This is enerving and such a BLANKING waste of time. .

  Re: Migrating from IIS 5.0 to IIS 7.0 Reply Contact  HI!  I finally managed to get access to Windows 2008.  It seems that the tools available are different but the basic approach of my previous article still works.  Only difference is that you need to use a command tool called appcmd to perform the migration.  The details can be found in my new article below:  http://programmersjournal.blogspot.com/2009/12/migrating-from-iis-56-to-iis-7.html
