Microsoft provides a tool called IISCnfg for management of the Internet Information Services (IIS) Settings. One of the features that this includes is the ability to replicate the IIS settings from one server to another. This is useful in a webfarm environment where you require all web servers to be in sync.
IISCnfg.vbs is automatically placed in the %windir%/System32 folder if IIS6 is installed and is a command line tool to be run directly or through a batch file.
I have been using IISCnfg for a few years on a number of different webfarms and have worked through a few issues with it that I will share here. I am also making a few scripts available that extend and help better utilize the IISCnfg file. IISCnfg has a fair bit of flexibility, but it has a couple shortcomings to become aware of and overcome.

This article examines the usage of IISCnfg.vbs file (And being able to MERGE from one IIS metabase settings to another IIS metabase), with no downtime - so syncing two IIS servers settings work better.
Good link to keep around!
