Copy IIS 6 to IIS 7.5 - iis

I have a Windows Server 2003 that is running IIS 6 with several web sites and I need to copy the web sites to a Windows Server 2008 server running IIS 7.5. Is there anyway to copy the information?

Yes, you can use Web Deploy (http://www.iis.net/download/WebDeploy) install it in the IIS 7.5 and you can sync all the server configuration, sites, etc, to the new server.
Here is an example:

How to check IIS version on Azure Websites?

I can't find any information about IIS on my Azure Websites Dashboard. I checked every panel.
You can see the IIS version and other server information in Kudu on the Environment page under the Server variables heading.
The variable name is SERVER_SOFTWARE, for example my web app has SERVER_SOFTWARE=Microsoft-IIS/8.0
To access Kudu, you can navigate to https://[app-name].scm.azurewebsites.net, or you can look for the Advanced Tools blade under Development Tools:
This information is not available on the Dashboard.
You can simply use the Server Variable "SERVER_SOFTWARE" anywhere in your code:
ViewBag.Message = Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_SOFTWARE"];
Here is the result on Azure Web Sites in West Europe data centre.
I believe the IIS version is dependant on the OS Family / Server version you're using on instance. This is very unqualified but I believe 2008 runs IIS 7, 2012 IIS 8 and 2012 R2 IIS 8.5.
Probably the simplest way is to deploy up a server, RDP into it and find out that way...
HTH
Start > Admin tools > IIS Manager (NOT THE 6.0 MGR) > Help > About..: voila
IIS is version 8.5.. on my windows Server 2012 R2

Upgrade Windows Azure web role to Server 2008 R2 to use IIS 7.5

I just launched my test website in Windows Azure this weekend with a single web role. I didn't see any options to specify what OS to use. It is currently using Server 2008 (IIS 7). According to this article though, Server 2008 R2 web roles are available (IIS 7.5). I want to use some specific functionality of IIS 7.5 - how can I upgrade my web role to use Server 2008 R2?
Just specify osFamily="2" in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg.
