I have been asked to migrate a ColdFusion site that is running on Windows Server 2003 to a new server, which is running Windows Server 2008 R2, 64bit. I am a .Net developer and know my way around Windows and IIS fairly well. Though, I have never done anything with ColdFusion. I ran this command: <cfdump var="#SERVER#" /> and received the output below. The 2008R2 server is vanilla. Can someone help me by generally telling me what I need to do to get the site running? Thanks for any advise given.

ColdFusion 9 will install much easier on Windows Server 2008. Also it will support the 64-bit mode that you are running in. You could also run the 32-bit version which may be required if you are running any cfx extensions that don't support 64-bit.

Here's some good info from Diary of a Grunt.

Well... you would need to do is install ColdFusion on the new server. Since the site is running version 7 currently you may want to stick with that. The current production release is 9.01. You may want to test the site against current version and if all is well upgrade to that.

From there you would have to configure ColdFusion server. Get any datasources configured and secure the server. These are just a few of the things you will need to do. This is not indicative of ColdFusion, but a necessary process any time you are moving a site from server to server.

If you have never done it before I would suggest getting help from someone who has. While it can be fairly easy to do there may be little nuances that a novice may miss.

A few other things to keep in mind. Depending on how complex the site is you will need to move the CustomTags and any CFC's in use from the old server to the new server and in some cases these will by in the CFusion directory not in inetpub.

I would echo Dave's comments in that if you haven't done this before I would recommend getting some help from someone who is familiar with ColdFusion.

If you have any other specific questions ask away...
