What is the best solution to migrate IIS 6(running on Win2k3) to IIS8(Win2012R2)? MSdeploy doesnt seems to work because data is >4gb and MSdeploy is not capable to migrate that amount of data.

You can create shares on the server and use something like ROBOCOPY to transfer over the files. I am assuming the site is basically static in nature and no scripts are running.

When MSDeploy fails, I use RoboCopy and shared config

SharedConfig is awesome. IIS had come along way since v6.x

i cant see shared config on IIS 6 on windows 2003. would you know where can i see the shared config?

Can you connect remotely via the Win2018R2?

you mean the new server win 2012 r2? yes...

I mean open the IIS on source server via the Win2012R2 server

yes i can connect to the server 2003 via 2012 using iis 6 manager on 2012 server

Then export config via the Win2012R2 server

how can i do that on iis 6 manager on windows 2012 r2 ? sorry noob on iis

In IIS 6.0, synchronizing and replicating configuration between servers was difficult because no built-in functionality existed. Although the server administrator could use the script iiscnfg.vbs to copy configuration between servers, this would still leave ACLs on the metabase and machine-specific paths like the Windows directory to be fixed.

can you give me guide on how to do it @Dmitri?
