The purpose of this software and its parts
IIS Easy Migration Tool (IEMT) software helps with the migration from one Microsoft IIS server to
another. It can also be used as IIS backup, recovery and consolidation tool.
IIS Easy Migration Tool for IIS 7, 8, 10 (IEMT 7) is able to migrate websites from IIS 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5 and
10.0 servers to IIS 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5 and 10.0 servers. It does not work with IIS 6.
IIS 7.x IIS 7.x
IIS 8.x IEMT 7 IIS 8.x
IIS 10.x IIS 10.x
(The former version of the IIS Easy Migration Tool (IEMT for IIS 6) is able to migrate websites from IIS 6.0 to
IIS 6.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 10.0. It is available at our website. You can purchase it if you are going to transfer
websites from IIS 6 (Windows 2003).)
This application is portable, no installation is required.
The IEMT 7 can:
Transfer and consolidate items (websites, SSL certificates, FTP accounts, etc.) and data (website
settings, etc.) between IIS 7/8/10 servers.
Recover and consolidate IIS settings (IIS server itself and its websites etc.) from applicationHost.config
file.
Backup and recovery of IIS settings and items with Gathering Agent (GA) utility.
Data sources
The IEMT 7 uses 2 data sources: applicationHost.config file and a data file created by Gathering Agent (GA)
utility.
The preferable data source is the GA data file. This file contains all the needed data about the IIS items and
settings. To get this file you should run Gathering Agent (GA) software on the source IIS server.
The applicationHost.config file contains incomplete information about the websites (and other IIS items like
applications, virtual directories etc.), but it may be used for the IIS migration and/or recovery in case you do not
have a GA data file for some reason.
Please note that applicationHost.config file does not contain any information about SSL certificates, Windows
users and groups, NTFS permissions, thus these items cannot be migrated/recovered in full in case you use
applicationHost.config file as the data source.
The applicationHost.config file can be used in disaster recovery cases, when the source server is offline and you
cannot run the Gathering Agent utility on that server. In all other cases we recommend using of the
Gathering Agent utility.
We also provide a command line version of the GA, it is designed to help with IIS related backup, recovery and
consolidation tasks. Files created by this command line utility can be used for recovery and/or consolidation of
IIS data (settings, items) on the same server or other servers.
The Gathering Agent does not change anything on the server. It does not stop any websites, does not
change any settings. It just collects the needed IIS related information. So, it is safe to use the Gathering
Agent on production servers. The websites on your source server stay intact and unaltered.
System requirements:
Source server: .NET framework 4.x is required for the Gathering Agent
Destination server: .NET framework 4.x is required for the IIS Easy Migration Tool.
Note: The IEMT 7 is a GUI application, so currently it is not compatible with Server Core installation of
Windows. You should either have Full Installation of Windows 2008, 2012 or Windows Server 2016 with
Desktop Experience.
Software registration and evaluation
It is possible to try the IEMT 7 for free. It works without a license key, but in the evaluation mode it allows to
migrate only a few items of each kind during a single migration session. (For example, it may allow to migrate
3 websites, 4 virtual directories, 5 FTP accounts, 2 SSL certificates and 1 Windows User Group during the
evaluation session.)
To register the software you need to buy a license key and write it to appropriate section of IEMT.exe.Config
file. You can buy a key at http://www.hoststools.com The license key makes the software fully-functional and
allows to migrate thousands of websites, Windows users etc. The amount depends on the license key you
purchased. For example, a license key can have the following limit: "10000 websites, 10000 web applications,
10000 Windows users, 10000 SSL certificates, 10000 FTP accounts, 10000 virtual directories".
Please note that IEMT connects to http://keysys.hoststools.com/ (online licensing system) at the beginning
of each session. So, please be sure the destination server firewall does not block port 80. IEMT sends its
license key and gets a response ("valid" or "not valid"). Nothing else is sent or received.
Please contact us if your destination server does not have Internet access. We have a solution.
When you have a key, please open IEMT.exe.Config file with the Notepad, find 1234 (between and
tags of ks_key section) and replace the 1234 with your license key. Then restart the IEMT 7.
If there is "Trial" word in the IEMT window caption, the program is not registered and works in the evaluation
mode.
During the migration process you select items to be migrated. The items are: websites, web applications, virtual
directories, FTP accounts, SSL certificates, Windows users, Windows user groups. The IEMT status bar
indicates how many items of each kind you selected and how many items you can migrate with your license
key.
