Hey Group,
I am extremely SORRY for not posting yesterday as I was enjoying my Birthday
:). I am back again today so lets start.
Today we will discuss migpol.exe. This tool is shipped with .NET Framework SDK.
This tool is used to migrate security policies from one version of .NET to
another version of dot net.
When .NET Framework is installed there are two configuration files installed
i.e. machine.config and security.config for each .NET Framework version.
. Net allows side by side installation of more than one versions of .NET
Framework. Thus, if you are having version 1.0 you can install version 1.1 at
the same time on the same machine.
These config files are different for each version. So configuration setting of
one version is not shared with another.
There is no tool available in the .NET Framework which can aid to copy or
migrate your machine configuration settings from your older version to your new
version. you have to do the changes manually or use some third party tool.
Fortunately .NET Framework has provided us with a tool to copy the security
policy setting. (Read my article on CASPOL to know more on security policy This
is a link in Mumbaiusergroup ).
CAS has three policy levels : User, Machine , Enterprise. Migpol only migrates
Enterprise and Machine level security policies.
Hence tomorrow when you load Whidbey you can migrate your security settings
from your current version of .NET to the new version.
Note: Security migration only works between compatible Versions of .NET.
To check out migpol options. Type migpol /? on VS.NET command prompt.

You can use -l option to list all the versions of .NET installed on your

To migrate one version to another you can use a similar command

-- Please post your queries and comments for my articles in the user group for
the benefit of all. I hope this step from my end is helpful to all of us.
