How to compare two IIS 6 configurations

Question

When I have two different machines with IIS 6, let's say for testing and production: Is there a way to compare all settings (App-Pools, Web Service Extensions, ...)?

Or even better: automatically sync both (except IP's etc.)

Answer 1

Start with WebDeploy http://www.iis.net/expand/WebDeploy. That's meant to copy or sync machines.

To do it manually, you can look at the metabase of each machine (c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\metabase.xml) and use any windiff app to compare them. Note that encrypted data will be different between the machines so you'll need to skim over that.

Answer 2

you can try this solution provided by stack overflow, this help me to solve my prob.
