IIS 6, tool to copy all site host headers?

Question

I have a Server 2003 box with about 6 sites that each have about 15-20 host headers.

Is there a tool out there that will copy all the host header records and automatically move them to the new server so I don't have to manually enter each host header again in the new server?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can try the Web Deployment Tool, which can sync settings between IIS servers: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1602

You should also be able to export the settings from one IIS box and import them on the other.

Answer 2

If you save the configuration via the IIS Manager (right-click All Tasks -> Save Configuration to a file) this will export all the host header information along with everything else about the website. Then on the new server you can import this configuration to recreate the website.
