Erik, that isn't entirely correct. There are several application settings and or permissions that will not carry over using that method.
First and foremost, I would make a Ghost image of the server just in case something blows up. That way you can bring your server back to its initial pristine order. Also, this allow you to practice at will and not worry about hosing the new server. I would suggest that you use something like scopy that comes with the Windows 2000 resource kit (or 2003 I would suppose). That will bring over all the NTFS file permissions thereby avoiding having to remember all the security you have as well as having to do it all by hand. Next I would suggest a product like IISExport that will transfer IIS application settings between servers. It is fairly easy to use and is pretty inexpensive ($40, I think). I am in no way associated with IIS Export or it's affiliates and do not receive any sort of kick back. I have simply used it in the past successfully to transfer our Intranet to our test server and vice versa.

We currently have a Compaq Proliant server where our intranet resides. I need to move the current site to the new web server and I'm not sure of the best way to do this. We plan to keep the same naming conventions as well as the same IP address. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks Sherri ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
