need help to sync IIS7.5 Web Server
===

Our team (small NGO) wants to synchronise II7.5 Web server(new) with another remote standalone server (old) which is not on the network. We are running exactally same hardware and OS. Windows Server 2k8 R2 and IIS7.5. 
We took these below steps and thought we’ll achieve the goal but didn’t succeed.
Step 1: 
	Using c:\>appcmd add backup “mybackup” took the backup of config files on the remote Server, 	save the folder as a zip file. (Due to some restrictions we can’t install MSDeploy tool over here)
Step 2.  
	On new web server backup was taken and we manually pasted files all the files 	(applicationHost.config, redirection.config, administration.config and IISMedia_schema.xml) 	to their respective locations on our newly installed servers. 
Step 3.	
	Installed MSdeploy tool and exported IIS settings to a package.zip folder on a local drive. This 		was done on new server.
Step 4. 
	On the same new server we are trying to import by using command line :
	C:\>msdeploy –verb:sync –source:package=c:\package.zip –auto:dest –diableLink:Content
	Because our team wants to import only IIS settings, without any contents.
	Now we are getting an error:
But If we drop ApplicationPool, Sites and ProtectedData tags while importing or exporting zip (GUI mode) file. It succeeds, but we are not getting the results, which means it doesn’t show any changes in IIS Manager console. 
As per MSdeploy tool (GUI mode) it succeeds. If it succeeds how can we test that it all went good? While browsing it doesn’t show IIS welcome page at localhost.

Your help will be appreciated. Thanks
