IIS deployment question

[MB]

Hello all

I am preparing six WWW boxes to replace our current WWW boxes, and am
planning on using Ghost for the server build.

We have 10 domains that we use per server, and I was wondering if I
can Ghost the IIS setup as well? If not, is there any other way to
setup and config IIS once, and replicate that same configuration to
multiple servers?

There are so many options in the IIS console that I am sure we will
have inconsistencies if we config these manually.

Any help / suggestions are more thatn welcome!

Thanks!

You can use MetaEdit 2.2 to export the config to a text file that can then
be imported onto the new server(s).

Make sure you use the server version of Ghost.

Sure.

You don't mention any version, but the metabse tool can import/export,
and you'll find other options here:

Of course, you may just clean up some in the process. :)
