Windows Server 2003 basic IIS setup help

Hi Scotter,

From my understanding, you are going to migrate the web site into a
new-installed windows 2003 box.

The IIS migration tool will help you a lot in this scenario. This
command-line tool is designed to simplify the migration of Web site content
and configuration settings from IIS 4.0/5.0/IIS 6.0 to IIS 6.0 which will
save you a lot of time on the migration. You can install the migration tool
from the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2aefc3e4-ce97-4f25-
ace6-127f933a6cd2&DisplayLang=en

You can also obtain this tool from IIS resource kit from the link:
IIS 6.0 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=56fc
92ee-a71a-4c73-b628-ade629c89499

I'd suggest you can install the resource kit which contains several useful
utilities for you to maintain the IIS.

Furthermore, the default architecture of IIS6 is very different from IIS
4.0/5.0 which introduces many new features for you to provide performance,
reliability, and scalability internet service. The reference "IIS
Architecture Overview" uses one table for you to demonstrate the IIS6 new
feature from IIS4.0/5.0.

sp?frame=true

From my experience, since some new features are introduced into IIS6 which
will affect some web site or web application, for example ASP page may lose
session when the process performs recycling, I'd suggest you will need to
check the IIs common error page to understand which common error may affect
your deployment. Then you can perform necessary configuration for these web
sites or web applications. Please go to:
Troubleshooting Common IIS Errors
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissdk/iis/
troubleshootingcommoniiserrors.asp

As Atrax has suggested, the IISFAQ.com will also provide some assistance
for your deployment.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. I am
standing by to be of assistance.
