IIS and System Inventory
Web sites, binding definitions, application pool settings, .NET versions, certificates, and NTFS access permissions are extracted.
MIGRATION SERVICES
Windows Server and IIS Migration (Server and Web Migration) Services
Windows Server and IIS migration is a service that ensures the secure transfer of IIS websites, application pools, SSL certificates, application files, database connection parameters, and Windows operating system-specific dependencies to a new server environment.
What is Windows Server and IIS Migration (Server and Web Migration) Services?
When migrating IIS web infrastructure on Windows Server, simply exporting the IIS configuration or running appcmd scripts is not sufficient for a trouble-free transition.
The process validates .NET Runtime versions, legacy COM/COM+ components, service accounts, private keys for SSL certificates, scheduled tasks, Registry customizations, and NTFS file and folder permissions for each application. After pre-migration tests using local hosts-file routing are complete, the environment is brought online through controlled DNS and binding changes.
Service scope
Compatibility and Run-Time Analysis
.NET Runtime, IIS modules, and external components are tested on the target Windows Server and IIS versions.
Application and Configuration Migration
File structures, web.config settings, PFX certificates, registry entries, and database connection strings are securely transferred.
Go-Live and Acceptance Testing
After local host testing, DNS/binding changes are made; HTTP/HTTPS requests, application logs, and functions are verified.

- Teams migrating .NET Framework or .NET Core applications hosted on IIS to a new virtual machine or cloud environment.
- Software companies and agencies consolidating multiple legacy Windows servers onto a more capable infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Can existing SSL certificates be transferred to the new Windows Server?
If the exportable private key (private key) is available, the certificate can be exported in PFX format and securely transferred to the new server; if the private key cannot be exported, the certificate must be reissued.
Will an old .NET Framework application run on the new Windows Server and IIS version?
This depends on the runtime version used by the application and the 32-bit/64-bit component dependencies. Compatibility tests should be performed before a live migration.
Are application pool identities (service accounts/identity) preserved?
Account and password management is also handled during the migration. Depending on security standards, they may need to be redefined with the principle of least privilege on the target server.
