IIS Migration from Win2k to new Win2k3 box

Do the two servers have to be on the same networking subnet for the
migration to work?

From the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool Documentation:

Before You Begin

You install the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool only on the target server — the
server that is running Windows Server 2003 operating system and IIS 6.0 and
to which you want to migrate Web sites. You can run the migration tool
executable program from any location on the target server. You do not need
to install the tool on the source server—the server from which you want to
migrate Web sites.
Before you begin using the migration tool, ensure that the following
conditions are met in your environment:

* You have established a network connection between the source and target
servers.
* The IISAdmin service is running on both the source and target servers.
* Administrative file sharing is enabled on the source server; for example,
the server allows drive mapping of drives C$ and D$.
* You have administrator privileges and are the administrator on both the
source and the target servers.
* You have adequate hard disk space on the target server to accommodate the
Web site content that will be migrated.
