What's NOT in IIS 6.0 Migration Tool?
Last week I came across this article - 21 Things IIS 6.0 Migration Tool Doesn't Do, a pretty comprehensive article illustrating things that you can't do with the migration tool. If I might add a few more points:
- The migration tool doesn't take care of IIS FTP, SMTP and NNTP as well.
- During my last test with ver 1.0, it only support 1 site at a time, so with 200sites, you need to run it 200 times. Of coz, you can script it with its command line interface.
So with so many limitations what can the migration do? Well, here's a list of tasks that tells you what it did! Pretty limited, right? And here's the limitations that published by Microsoft. Honestly, this tool is suitable for small size migration, somewhere from 1 to 15sites. It's more than that I would suggest you get some third party tools like IIS Export, etc.
