You can determine whether you have any Web sites that are uniquely identified with an IP address by viewing the Properties sheet of the Web sites on your source server.

Requirements

As a security best practice, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the Run as command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At the command prompt, type **runas /user:**administrative_accountname mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc.
