Large Site Redirect Advice

Moving a large site from Apache to Microsoft Server

[PrattTA1]

I'm in the process of moving a very large site (10,000 pages) from Apache (using PHP) to a Microsoft Server (ASP). How do you recommend redirecting such a large site?

Obviously I want to be using 301 redirects, but do I need to map out every page on the site and redirect them individually? Is there an easier way? Thanks!

How will the URLs change? Is it a shared or dedicated server?

ISAPI_Rewrite is the extension that allows mod_rewrite style rules (you have to buy it), but you can also do rewriting at the application or page level.

It is best to do it that way.
Maybe you can have a rewrite rule, or a set of rules, that will do it automatically, instead of writing a line for each page.
