Powershell – Moving one website from one server to another using powershell

msdeploypowershellwindows-server-2008-r2windows-server-2012-r2

I've been reading about MS Deploy and writing a small script to export/import one website from one server to another server(IIS8 to IIS8). But I ran into sizing problems and some other errors and the whole process seems to be overkill for one website.

So I'm wondering if there's an easier way of doing it through the powershell? Using powershell, Is there a way to export and import a site? Googling to reveal much, but I'm thinking there's got to be a way.

Thanks

I did end up using msdeploy:

Export:

C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3>msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:apphostconfig="myWebSite" -enableLink:AppPoolExtension -dest:archivedir=c:\NavProd.zip,encryptPassword=myPassWord > wdPackage.log

Import:

C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3>msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:archivedir=c:\myWebSite.zip,encryptPassword=myPassWord -enableLink:AppPoolExtension - dest:apphostconfig="myWebSite" > wddeploy.log

Powershell – Decoding a base64 encoded field in a csv with powershell

Save this as import.ps1 and use as follows: .\import.ps1 C:\test.csv. It will output a CSV in the current directory called Output.csv.

You'll also need to change the Port columns so one is SourcePort and one is DestPort - you can't have 2 columns with the same name when using Import-Csv.

$csv = Import-Csv $args[0]

$csv | ForEach-Object { $_.PacketData = [text.encoding]::utf8.getstring([convert]::FromBase64String($_.PacketData)) }

$csv | Export-Csv "Output.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Sql-server – Using powershell to gather disk used into a sql table

$servers = Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query "SELECT SERVERHardwareName FROM SERVERLIST_Hardware WHERE EXCLUDE = 0 and activenode = 1 or activenode is null;" -ServerInstance "sqlserver" -Database "dba_rep" | foreach {$_.SERVERHardwareName}
$ExportPath = 'c:\temp\psout\Server-DiskSpace.csv'  
Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $servers -Query 'SELECT * from Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DriveType=3' ` 
| select SystemName,DeviceId,DriveType, VolumeName,Description, @{Label="FreeSpace(GB)";Expression={"{0:N2}" -f ($_.FreeSpace/1GB)}},`
  @{Label="Size(GB)";Expression={"{0:N2}" -f ($_.Size/1GB)}} | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Path $exportpath

You can simplify quite a bit by loading your lists of servers into an array and passing the array to get-wmiobject. If you look at get-help get-wmiobject you'll notice the computername parameter is string[], whenever you see string[] this means it take an array.
