Before continuing with the Web site migration, verify that the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool migrated the Web site content and configuration information successfully. When you run the migration tool, the output displayed by the migration tool indicates the success or failure of the migration. If the output indicates that errors occurred, you can use the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool log file to resolve any errors.

Verify that the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool ran successfully by completing the following steps:

  1. Open %systemroot%\System32\LogFiles\IISMT\iismt_date_time.log in a text editor and determine if any errors occurred (where date is the date when the tool ran and time is the time the tool started).

  2. Review the log file and resolve any problems that occurred during migration before proceeding to the next step in the process.
