  Re: deployment in a web farm configuration Reply Contact Depends on what type of application you have.  You could use something like robocopy and a batch file on node 1 and copy to 2,3 via a task scheduler.  You'd use iiscnfg.vbs to replicate IIS metabase information.  Look at this article for replicating iis metabase information.  http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2006/06/07/IISCnfg.vbs---IIS-Settings-Replication.aspx There are other 3rd applications such as repliweb, double take for example.  HTH Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget

  Re: deployment in a web farm configuration Reply Contact The IIS team developed the "Web Deployment Tool" to help you with this task.  You can use it to replicate whole web servers, sites etc.  You can replicate just the configuraiton (metabase) or also content/certificates.  There is a separate forum for this tool.  For example, here would be the command line to replicate the server msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:webserver60 -dest:webserver60,computername=othermachine This command would copy over the metabase/content from the local machine to "othermachine".  It would do this incrementally, so you could repeatedly call this tool and it would just copy over the changes.  Check it out and post any questions to the forum.

  Re: deployment in a web farm configuration Reply Contact Hi I have read a lot of doc in order not to publish newest code to a web farm setting. (1) install the web deployment tool to the source server (2) install the remote service on the source server (3) ran net start msdepsvc to start the service (on both source and dest servers) (4) run msdeploy in the command line. in your suggestion: msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:webserver60 -dest:webserver60,computername=othermachine. What exactly I have to enter for the webserver60? Is that the full qualified server name? Also, is the computername is an option?  Thanks.
