Author FrontPage Web Migration - 2000 to 2003

Hello folks...

looking for some general points, suggestions, recommendations, etc on the
process of migrating a FPSE 2002 (5.0.2.4330) enabled site currently running
on an IIS5 Win2K Adv Server box to one running IIS 6 Win2003 Web Edition (32
bit).

Looks like IIS 6 includes FPSE 2002 within their Application server
configurations (not sure of exact version).

SSL Certificate will be "moved" in accordance with Verisign's procedures.
Content should be straightforward... re-publish entire site to new box.

What about administratively?

FrontPage Publishing groups?
Users & Roles?
Windows Accounts (non-domain users)?

Another *assumption* is that any applications (PDF Writer, etc) will need to
be re-installed from original media nad patched appropriately...

any other GOTCHAS I need to be on the lookout for?

any nice whitepapers out there for procedures like this?

Thanks Much.

Just open the site in FP and publish to the new location/server.

You will have to recreate any permissions/groups, etc. on the new server.

Also Windows 2003 Server by default has many features/option disable by default, that where enabled
by default under prior versions of Window Server
