The Web Deployment Tool simplifies the migration, management, and deployment of IIS web servers, web applications, and websites. Administrators can use command line scripts and web deployment tools to synchronize IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0 servers, or migrate IIS 6.0 servers to IIS 7.0. With the Web deployment tool, administrators and delegates can also use the IIS manager to deploy ASP. NET and PHP applications to the IIS 7.0 server.
- Easily migrate Web applications between IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0
This simplifies the migration planning from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.0 by determining incompatibility and previewing suggested changes before starting the migration. Understanding any potential problems in advance gives you the opportunity to take corrective actions and simplify the migration process.
- Effective synchronization server farm
With the Web deployment tool, you can detect the differences between the source content and the target content and transmit only those changes that need to be synchronized, in this way, the site, application, or server can be effectively synchronized in the IIS 7.0 server farm. This tool automatically determines the configuration, content, database, and certificate to be synchronized for a specific site to simplify the synchronization process. In addition to the default behavior, you can also specify other providers to be synchronized, including COM, GAC, and registry settings.
- More easily package, archive, and deploy Web Applications
With Web deployment tools, you can package configurations and content of installed Web applications, including SQL databases, and store or redeploy these packages. Use the IIS manager to deploy these packages without administrative permissions. This tool is also integrated with Visual Studio 2010 to help developers simplify the deployment of Web applications on Web servers.
