Migrating from IIS5 to IIS6 using iismt

Hi,

I am trying to migrate a 2K IIS5 server to 2k3 IIS6 using iismt, the
Microsoft-supplied migration tool, version 1.1. The new IIS6 server gets
"Access denied" when trying to connect to the IIS5 server. I have verified
the following:

- The IIS6 server is successfully authenticating with the IIS5 server. This
is shown in the security log on the IIS5 server.
- The IIS6 server can access the drives where the content is stored on the
IIS5 server via UNC shares ie \\1.2.3.4\d$

The only pointer to what could be causing it is this error in the IIS6
system log:

DCOM got error "General access denied error" from the computer at 1.2.3.4
when attempting to activate the server:
{A9E69610-B80D-11D0-B9B9-00A0C922E750}

I've had a look at the related help information for this particular error
and none of it seems to apply to my setup.

Hope someone can help me with this!

Why is your IIS6 server trying to connect to the IIS5 server.

The ProgId causing the failure is for the IISADMIN service, which requires
administrator to access.

I see no reason for a migrated website on IIS6to reference the IISADMIN
service of IIS5 -- thus you probably have something hard coded in your
website that needs to be fixed by hand. For example, your web pages have a
GetObject call hardcoded to the IIS5 server's name. IISMT does not
magically move/migrate your applications -- it moves IIS-related
configuration -- so there can be plenty of things that you need to hand fix,
including any custom COM objects.
