Using WebDeploy to create a server or site package

Using Web Deploy I am having problems creating a import server or site package. There appears to be no documentation on this. I am using Windows 7 and IIS 7.5, Web Deploy 2.0.

I want to be able to create a deployment package to include the App Pool and Website information so can be installed at the root of IIS without having to manually create anything.

The article Synchronizing by using Packages details the basic Web Deploy steps for creating a site or server package and then importing it on another server. If you want to package and deploy an IIS 7 Web server, you'd use the webServer provider. If you want to package and deploy an IIS 7 website, you'd use the appHostConfig provider.

To include the app pool in the operation, you'll need to use the -enableLink:AppPoolExtension switch, like this:

msdeploy -verb:sync -source:appHostConfig="Default Web Site" -dest:appHostConfig="Default Web Site",computerName=Server2 -enableLink:AppPoolExtension

For more on the enableLink setting, see Web Deploy Operation Settings. For more on link extensions, see the Web Deploy Link Extensions page.
