Move/Migrate IIS v6 to IIS V 7 on new server
I want to migrate/move my current IIS server to a new Server and I'm hope to do this without have to setup each site manually. Is there a way to just move or migrate my folders, settings etc?

Yes I found that. I'm trying it on my FTP sites and so far its just sitting there. I'll let you know or I'll send a screen shot.
You can give a try on some other non productivity servers may be in testing servers, don't try it on a production server, just a suggestion.

One question in the case of my FTP sites, the FTP is located c:\inetpub\ftproot but my sites are virtual and they are located on another server. Do I need to point that tool to the other server that the FTP folder sits on? All my sites are on a share on a different server. It connects but when I hit gather its telling me not found? OK I'm now thinking is there a way to just copy the structure?

you can map that location as a drive in your machine and give a try ?

I did just that and strangely enough, When it finally finishes it's saying the following:
FTP Logins on 1:Default FTP Site - 13
Site: Default Web Site
***Sites:1
Im trying to move regular sites...

were you logged on to the ftp when you migrated?
ASKER
no but I started there. I'll try this again tomorrow. The new server is still updating and I can't do anything until it's done. But what do you suggest to get my websites?
ASKER
ok no matter what I try my result is still coming up with FTP??? I'm not sure where to go after this...

If I try to run Mdepoloy I'm getting access denied? the account is an admim on the box? Does this need to be run on the IIS 7 box?

Was only able to get the FTP sites?? Once these are migrated is my old stuff not going to work anymore or not until I make this live?

I found the msdeploy moved my website most efffiently. I did try to use the other migration tool which did work but it only moved 3 of my FTP sites and I had to wind up doing that manually. My suggestion is MSdeploy for websites
