fe are upgrading our Application Center based web environment to Windows
Server 2003 Web Edition. We will accomplish this upgrade with new
hardware;
there will be no upgrade in place of our current machines. Our current
web
environment is Windows 2000 Advanced Server with AppCenter 2000 SP2; there
are 30 websites defined to this environment. The Release Notes for
AppCenter
2000 SP2 states:
Regardless of the version of Application Center you have installed, do not
perform out of cluster deployments between a cluster whose servers are
using
a version of the Windows 2000 Server family operating system and a cluster
whose servers are using a version of the Windows Server 2003 family
operating
system.
It appears that this kind of activity will corrupt the IIS 6.0 metabase.
Based on the above statement, what is the recommended method of
"moving/deploying" the web sites from the Windows 2000 AS environment to
the
Windows Server 2003 environment?
