Scenario:
In windows migration sometimes we need to migrate IIS6 web.config to IIS7. If you are using custom httpHandlers or httpModules, you would need to
run the migration command below.
C:\> %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD.EXE migrate config "domain_name.com/virtual_directory" Successfully migrated section "system.web/httpModules". Successfully migrated section "system.web/httpHandlers".
Now if you are going to migate the web.config inside the WEB_ROOT directory itself and not inside any virtual directory don’t miss a forward slash, / after the domain name.
eg:
C:\> %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD.EXE migrate config "domain_name.com/" Successfully migrated section "system.web/httpModules". Successfully migrated section "system.web/httpHandlers".
Otherwise you may get an error like below,
ERROR ( message:Cannot find APP object with identifier “domainame.com”. )
