I am working on migrating more than 20 websites from IIS 6.0 to Windows 2008 server/IIS 7.0. All these websites have their own IIS configurations and settings. Wanted to know, if there is any way by which I can read my IIS 6.0 configurations for each and every website and set the same/equivalent configurations on IIS 7.0?
I want to avoid using manual compare and paste stuff over here.
I finally did this using the Web deploy Tool.
Thanks everybody

I just got a requirement to migrate all of my websites and FTP sites to a new IIS 8 from existing IIS 6 server. With out installing any tool, how can we achieve this? If we manually do copy paste of all files, what are the configuration and authentication changes? Please let me know!!!
Thanks in advance...
From Microsoft TechNet article, Migrating a Web Server from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7:
You can use the Web Deployment Tool (Web Deploy) to migrate your Web
server or Web site from a computer that is running Information
Services (IIS) version 6.0 on Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 to a
computer that is running IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 or IIS 7.5 on
Windows Server 2008 R2. (In this documentation, "IIS 7" refers to both
IIS 7.0 and IIS 7.5.) You can also use Web Deploy to migrate from an
IIS 6.0 Web server to another IIS 6.0 Web server, or from an IIS 7 Web
server to another IIS 7 Web server.
There is also a chapter on the IIS site "Migrate a Web Site from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7 or above" which describes how to use the Web Deploy (msdeploy) tool.
Which is the best way to deploy an asp .net 3.5 project?
I have a production server with IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003. I found that there are several to deploy it, but I think that xcopy deployment is OK for now.
However, I don't found the right to do it. Some tutorials suggest to create virtual directories, but I don't know where is the target
There's more information you need than can be put in a simple answer, and this is borderline off-topic.
However, I do have a link for where you should start: Deploying ASP.NET Applications in IIS 6.0 (IIS 6.0)
It's an older series of articles, but still applies.
I am very new in IIS 7.0 (Using in Windows Server 2008).
I have my Web application developed in VS 2005 or ASP.Net 2.0. in Windows Server 2003 system.
Now i am migrating to Windows server 2008 + IIS 7.0, So please can any tell me what are the basic setting i have to perform on IIS 7.0 to run my existing application without any changes in code.
I read somewhere that i have to change my Web.config file.
Dont worry my friend, i just follow the following simple steps and it works for me
1- i copy the folder containing the application into the www root folder
2- open IIS from RUN INETMGR and check the application pool: make sure it contains .NET 2
3-convert to application
4-choose the classic .NET v2
5- set permissions and run the application
Good Luck !
This is a very useful link

if you face any trouble, send your problem as comment and i will answer it
You may want to change your application to classic mode instead of Integrated mode, there are some gotchas moving into integrated mode. Its something to consider at least. Hopefully you have the opportunity to test before going live with IIS 7.
I just got application written in ASP.NET and VB, can i deploy it on any IIS?
Are there any files in project with that kind of information?
There are no files or magic numbers anywhere that can tell you this. Chances are preety good that it will run on a newer versions of IIS but even then your goign to need to know what functionality it requires. For example is it using WebDav? IIS is preety good at being backwards compatible but forward compability not so good. For example IIS7 introduced new functionality which if the application is using it, would prevent it from running on IIS6.
Do you know what version of .net it requires that is more likely to bite you then anything else?
Any IIS that supports ISAPI, I guess, but IIS 5.1 + is recommended (.NET probably won't run on OS that run IIS4 anyway).
Here is a good MSDN link detailing which IIS version comes with which version of Windows as well as useful links for configuring it.
ASP.NET and IIS Configuration
IIS 6 is the minimum for recent .NET versions (i.e. Windows 2003) because Win2000 is not supported (considering server only here).
The Windows version will tell you the IIS version:
Server 2003: IIS 6
Server 2008: IIS 7
Server 2008 R2: IIS 7.5
Also XP: IIS5.1; Vista: IIS7
I have XP pro edition with .Net 3.5 installed and IIS 5.0 and MVC RC 2
Can i run KiGG on this machine?
Also i have on my hosting server IIS 6 and .Net 3.5 , can it run there or no also?
If no, there is no work around to make it work?
Thanks,
You would need to install an SQL server but yes, you can run KIGG on IIS 5/XP.
ASP.NET MVC is bin-deployable so you should be able to run it on your host also. I think for a shared host you'll need full trust because it uses some reflection in the code, otherwise you'll get exceptions.
