About Migrating an IIS Application

This topic provides information about how to migrate an Internet Information Services (IIS) application.

You can virtualize IIS-based applications using a set of scripts and the procedure in this topic.

The scripts put IIS into a tethered container and allow the container to pull configuration information from a source system.

You can use the resulting container to migrate the IIS configuration and data from the source machine. The container with the new configuration can then be dissolved to the underlying operating system; configuration files on the underlying operating system will be overwritten.

VirtaMove does not support IIS migrations to desktop operating systems (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1).

IIS application migrations require that system root drives match on the destination and source machines.
