All Excellent answers, i think i found what i am looking for..
Moving IIS6.0 CONFIG TO NEW SERVER..(topic)
Seems the problem i am running into is that the backup function in iis 6.0
add machine specific info to the metabase.. so to get around that you must
export the metabase..
IISCNFG /EXPORT /F C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\INETSER\METABACK\CONFIG.XML /SP /
/CHILDREN
I havent figured out the import yet.. could use some help with the syntax..
the info was found using

roddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/stan
dard/proddocs/en-us/cl_as_copycnfg.asp
