    The web.config configuration of one website can't be just copied to another server.

    There could be many local configuration on the web.config which might get overridden.

    Also, the path to the dll may not match in the target directory.

     

    It would make more sense to specify explicitly what was the exact configuration that was missing for this particular case.

    Thank you Ujwol for your comments.
    This Tech Tip reference the following tech note : TEC1060401
    The purpose it to check the Web.config configuration file used by IIS and especially modification done by the WebAgent installer/configurator.
    There might be some issue with the pre-reqs conditions we can review as we has a couple of issue with that.
    I agree that we should NOT copy the web.config over web servers.
