What is the preferred method for taking an existing IIS4 configuration and importing it to an IIS5 Web Server?

I have an older NT4 IIS4 Web Server that I copied all the contents of wwwroot over to a newer 2000 IIS5 Web Server and do not want to manually configure all of the virutal directories and permissions.

Should I run a Backup Action and then move the MDO file to the IIS5 and try a restore? I haven't tried that yet because I'd like to know what the "preferred" and "safe" method for doing this.

I came across a utility that I've not tested yet:

if there is a better utility someone can recommend, I'm all for checking it out.

Thanks for the link, Dayve. I've never had the pleasure of migrating webs, I have only moved them and reconfigured on the target as necessary.
