Configure SMTP for IIS 7.5 in windows 7

The best place to start is %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\schema. The IIS_schema.xml file has the definition for everything in IIS (except for some extensions which are in other files in that folder).

The schema files shows the default, where it should be set in the config and sometimes the range.

The next place to check is the IIS reference guide. Here's the page that has the MinBytesPerSecond: http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.applicationHost/webLimits

You can set these using appcmd or editing applicationHost.config directly. Make sure to take a backup before starting. appcmd add backup 'backup before starting minbytespersecond'

First make sure that the installed programs are the same on each. Make sure that the 7.5 install doesn't have 'more' apps installed, otherwise the server config installer will have a problem with future installs.

Then use Shared Configuration from the top level in IIS. Export the config, copy the 3 files over to a temporary location and then point to the files on the new end (in the temporary location). Confirm that it works as promised and then turn off shared configuration. There will be a prompt that allows you to copy the files back to the normal location. Accept that and you'll have a fully migrated machine that doesn't need to use shared configuration either.

Some things to consider are: - custom app pool identities need to be either AD users or local users with identical names and passwords. If you don't have that, just manually reassign users to the app pools. - make sure that content, GAC, registry, COM+ and NTFS permissions are set on the new server. - and SSL. Even the IIS SSL settings won't come over, so they need to be manually reapplied.
