Advantages in IIS 6.0?..

Answer / dola

The advantages of upgrading the server that hosts your
existing IIS Web sites and applications to IIS 6.0 include
the following:

• Reduces the time required to deploy IIS 6.0. Upgrading
requires minimal user interaction.

• Reduces possible configuration errors. Because the
majority of the current operating system, IIS, and Web site
configuration settings are retained during upgrade, fewer
configuration errors result.

The disadvantages of upgrading the server that hosts your
existing IIS Web sites and applications to IIS 6.0 include
the following:

• Retains previous versions of software. The upgrade
process upgrades only software components identified by
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows®
Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; and Windows® Server 2003,
Web Edition. Any other installed software components, such
as applications or application dynamic-link libraries
(DLLs), remain unchanged.

• Retains the previous registry configuration. The upgrade
process makes the appropriate modifications to the registry
entries identified by Windows Server 2003. Registry entries
are created by an application as it is installed, but are
not removed when the application is removed. Cumulatively,
these registry entries consume disk storage and can make
troubleshooting registry-related problems more difficult
because the unused registry entries can have similar naming
conventions to active registry entries.
