It depends how many servers you're talking about.

For less than about 4 or 5 servers, I just zip the application, copy to each server, unzip into a new folder, and tell IIS to look at the new folder, using IIS Manager. In a load-balanced environment, it also means taking all servers except one offline, and then updating them one at a time, and bringing them back online afterwards.

For more servers than that, I prefer to use Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
