IIS Web Deployment Tool

The IIS team has just released a technical preview of an AWESOME new tool that will help keep websites on different servers in sync and also help with the migration to IIS. Here is a quote from their blog post:

The goal of the tool is to help you keep servers in sync, to make deployment easier and also to help with migrating to new versions of IIS. You could use a sync on two machines in a web farm, for example. Or maybe you need to move to a new server of the same version, you can use this tool. Of course, we also enable you to do a migration from IIS 6.0 to 7.0.

We have multiple environments for our applications, typically development, test and production environments. This tool looks like it will be a huge help in keeping our environments synchronized and helping with our promotion process.

Check it out and let me know what you think.
