Hi Pete,

Just install Windows 2000 on the Dell to an NTFS partition. Then:

1) If it's a splipstream build (with service packs and patches). Just
install IIS from Add/Remove Programs

2) If you're installing from the CD, first install IIS and then install
the latest service pack and patches.

3) Lock down IIS so it can't be hacked too easily.

4) Right click the "Default Web Site" and 'configure' the extensions.

5) Check all NTFS permissions on everything.

6) Make sure all computers are connected to a properly configured
network, and that you can log onto it as a domain administrator. Make
sure this Domain Admin is a member of the Administrators group on every
machine

7) Open the old site in Frontpage

8) Choose "Publish"

9) Enter HTTP followed by the name of the new server and click OK.

It will publish the old site to the new server. (Note any errors)

10) Check any scripts that may access the local FileSystem, and edit
their paths so they make sense on the new machine.

That should be it.
