iis 7 - How do you migrate an IIS 7 site to another server? -

I'm new to the IIS world, but I'm thinking best practice to get one website to another server (with all the settings)

, etc.)

• Manually recreate the site on the new server (not qualified for obvious reasons)
• The applicationHost.config settings file Copy
• Use a third party tool

Just wondering what others have experience ? IIS Manager wants to say the export of your server config:

In the IIS Manager, click on the server node

Go to Shared Configuration under "Management"

Click "Export Configuration". (If you send them to the Internet then you can use a password, do not sweat it if you want them to be taken via USB key.)

These files Take the server to your new server

  administration.config applicationHost.config configEncKey.key  

On the new server, "share Back to configuration "section and check" Enable shared configuration. "Enter location in the physical path of these files And implement them.

This should be an encryption password prompt (if you set it up) and reset the IIS.

balm! Take a beer!
