SYMPTOMS
You use the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Migration Tool (Iismt.exe) to migrate a Web application from a source computer that is running IIS to a destination computer that is running IIS 6.0. When you run the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool on the destination computer, you receive the following error message:

Access is denied



CAUSE
This issue may occur if you specify the incorrect credentials in the /user  command-line option and in the /password   command-line option.



RESOLUTION
When you specify the /user  command-line option and the /password   command-line option for the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool, use the credentials of the local administrator on the source computer.
