Thanks for posting. I will be trying this soon since we are not using shared configs on any of our iis7 webservers. I will post how it went.

Note that if you had various extensions installed in iis7 on SWEB they’ll be referenced in the config file and you’ll need to install them on TWEB or you’ll get errors and the web site and pool will shut down after trying to access the site. Look in eventlog – application errors to get a hint as to which extensions are missing e.g. urlrewrite.

Thank you! This got me up and running in a jiffy. This makes migrating IIS7 servers a snap. Much appreciated.

Do we have to make sites manually on new server or everything gets copied. I tried above whole procedure and ended up with fodlers instead of sites under default websites in ISS on new server.
What did i do wrong?

When all else failed, once I found your article I was able to solve my additional new server configurations in just a few minutes using your solution.

The only other thing I had to do was reconfigure environment-specific information in the IIS 7 configuration (dedicated redirect local to each environment for one Virtual Directory due to a proxy plug-in), and for some reason an IIS 7 Restart did not pick up the change, so a Stop and then Start did the trick.
