Hello - We are attemting to migrate from our Win 2003 IIs 6 [source server] to a newly built Win 2012 R2 IIs8.5 server and attempting to use the following article as our guideline.
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/migrate-a-web-site-from-iis-60-to-iis-7-or-above
PART 3 – MIGRATE YOUR SITE TO THE TARGET BY USING A PACKAGE FILE
msdeploy -verb:sync -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/1-dest:package=c:\Site1.zip >WebDeployPackage.log
When I execute this command on the IIs6 server, the command runs [ for a good 10 -15 minutes] but ends with the following error:
Error: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
Error count: 1.
Thank you in advance for any consideration given to my problem here.
