Hi,
I have a Dedicate 2003 with IIS6 that it configured for web hosting,
Now I have about 400 web site on this server, I have plan to move my sites to other new server, how can I move this sites to other IIS without any problem, Because I try to move metabase.xml file but I have problem, please let me know best solution to do this.
Thanks
Hi Hamid,
Yes, there are several server specific values in your metabase which are not directly transferable to other systems. This is one of the drawbacks of the IIS 6 metabase that is fixed with IIS 7.
You can use the Internet Information Services 6.0 Migration Tool, but it has a big drawback in that it can only migrate one site at a time. So unless you are very patient or good at scripting I'd probably suggest this isn't the best option for migrating 400 sites. Another option is to try something like IIS Export, but it will cost you.
