Kirk, I've done the upgrade install from an NT4 to Win2K server and it was very smooth. Given the option, wiping the box clean and doing a fresh install is optimal, but I found no problems doing the upgrade either.
Having a large number of custom configuration you don't want to do over will probably be your deciding factor. Best of luck. t ********************************************************************** Tyler M.

I would backup everything, format the drives and start with the fresh install of Win2K (make sure to install all of the service packs and hot fixes). So yes, if you wiped out the machine, you would need to use an IIS import / export utility. If you upgrade, I'm honestly not sure what would happen. I've never don a straight NT4 to Win2K upgrade. I've always done a format / clean install. - Jay -----Original Message----- From: Kirk Boecker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 3:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: IIS Export from NT to Win2k We still have one server pair that is running NT4 - and we want to upgrade that one to the WIN2K advanced that all of our others are running - if I am not moving from one server to the next and just upgrading - will all my IIS setting stay intact or do I need to look at backing them up with a tool like this too??
