Hi,
I am looking to upgrade a glorified desktop webserver running iis 6.0.
to a new dual pentium server with sep os drives and data drives.
What is the best way to migrate all settings? We have around 50 websites
running...can we move usersettings and folder permissions? Since the data
will now be on a different drive, will that mess things up?


We are also running a product called Hosting Controller which offers an iis
web based management solution, but if any changes were made outside of the
Hosting Controller application, the settings would be lost....
Thanks for any help
seth

I'm not sure about Hosting controller, but if you planning to move IIS
website around, you can try the following:
