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.
