Hi RAM

Regarding your questions ...

1. What are the event logs and where could I find them?
        -Are you wanting to know about the NT Event logs or the IIS log
files? You can access the NT event log from Start, right-click My Computer,
click Manage, in the Computer Management snap-in, expand Event Viewer.
 -For the IIS log files, go to <system
drive>\Windows\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC1.

 2. What (in simple words) does the IIS 6.0 migration tool do? Where can I
get some decent documentation on this?
The IIS 6.0 migration tool will help you migrate you existing IIS setup (IIS
4.0, 5.0, or 6.0) to IIS 6.0.

Here's a hearty blurb from the migration tool documentation:

You can migrate Web content to target servers running Windows Server 2003
and IIS 6.0 from source servers that are running the following:

· IIS 4.0 running on the Microsoft® Windows NT® Server operating
system

· IIS 5.0 running on the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server operating
system

· IIS 6.0 running on Windows Server 2003

      Important

      The IIS 6.0 Migration Tool cannot be used on source or target servers
that are running IIS 6.0 in IIS 5.0 isolation mode. Your source and target
servers must be running IIS 6.0 in worker process isolation mode.

The migration tool does the following:

· Backs up the IIS metabase configuration on the target server.

· Migrates Web site content from the source server to the target
server.

You can change the path for migrated content so that it will reside in a new
location on the target server. You also can choose to migrate only the
metabase configuration, not the content.

· Copies file system access control lists (ACLs) for migrated
content.

· Copies the Web site's IIS metabase configuration from the source
server to the target server.

· Maps IIS 4.0 and IIS 5.0 application isolation settings to IIS 6.0
application pool settings.

An application pool is a grouping of URLs that are routed to one or more
worker processes.

· Writes operations to a log file.

In addition, you can specify that the migration tool should do the
following:

· Change the Web root directory path from the source server to the
target server.

· Re-extend Microsoft® FrontPage® Server-extended sites.

· Change the IP address, port, and host-header information of the
migrated site to new values that you specify.

· Change the site ID.

If you need to migrate multiple Web sites from the source server, you must
run the migration tool once for each web site that you need to migrate.

The migration tool does not support migrating metabase nodes that are
located below the site level. Therefore, you cannot use it to migrate an
individual virtual directory or a Web directory.

      Note

      You cannot use the IIS Migration Tool to migrate IIS 6.0-based sites
to and from the same server.

You can access the IIS 6.0 Migration tool here
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2aefc3e4-ce97-4f25-ace6-127f933a6cd2&displaylang=en).

To access the docs (after installing the tool) click Start, All Programs,
IIS Resources, IIS 6.0 Migration Tool, IIS 6.0 Migration Tool documentation
(a Word doc called iisTOOL_mig.doc).

You may want to check out the IIS 6.0 deployment guide
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F31A5FD5-03DB-46D2-9F34-596EDD039EB9&displaylang=en)
and the IIS 6.0 resource guide
(http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/IIS/6/all/techref/en-us/default.mspx)
for more detailed info about deploying and running IIS 6.0.

3. How do I check if anything / everything is alright after I install
FrontPage Server extensions?
I'm going to ask some of our testers about this question. I'll post when I
have the answer.
