Identifying the Role of the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The IIS 6.0 Migration Tool is a command-line utility that automates some of the steps in the process for migrating Web sites and applications hosted on IIS 4.0 or IIS 5.0 to IIS 6.0. The migration tool does not provide an end-to-end migration solution, but it automates some of the time-consuming, repetitive migration tasks. Although the migration tool is conceptually similar to the IIS 5.0 Migration Tool, the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool is a completely new tool designed specifically for Windows Server2003 and is not compatible with the previous tool.
