It is not possible with IIS is to save its configuration and copy that
configuration file to other machines. This is because the configuration file
contains encrypted data (all your user credentials, security ACLs, etc) that
is tied to a given machine's private key, as well as machine-specific data
(such as C:\windows vs G:\windows, IUSR_Machine1 vs IUSR_Machine2, etc) --
so it does not decrypt nor make sense when copied to another machine.
What you will end up doing is either use a replication tool like Application
Center to specifically replicate/deploy settings/content, or you write your
own automation scripts using IIS administration interfaces to do the same.
If you already have custom scripts/software, it is not hard to add the
automation scripts for IIS to do this. You can find plenty of samples on
Microsoft Script Center for IIS administration that illustrate how to do
many things on IIS.

Hello everyone, I'd like some advice on how to depoly a web server pool as quickly as possible. Right now, each web server we setup has roughly 200+ virtual folders, each with different sets of directory security access. Is there a way to setup one web server, save all it's IIS5 configurations, and then push it out to other servers? Thanks, Barry
