Hello,

We still run a large number of websites on NT4.0/IIS 4.0. Because of
stability issues, we are targeting "problematic" websites and will move them
to a duplicate IIS 4.0 server. Can anyone recommend a process / best
practice for moving a single or group of websites to a different server?
Hopefully, (the process) this will take into account any dependencies such as
DNS, aliases, DLL and/or other requirements. We will be retiring all NT
servers but that is another project that is forthcoming. Moving them to W2k3
is not an option right now. We must stay on NT/IIS 4.0.

TIA,
Rich

There are no tools that will handle everything, you're going to have
to move some manually. I prefer to move all manually, configuring the
new server/site, copying content and then changing DNS records. Wait
a week before removing the old one so DNS can populate.
