Pros and Cons of Hosting OTRS on IIS?

[aamira]

Hi All,

Currently, OTRS 3.2 is setup on a Windows environment with Apache and MSSQL running as a webserver and database server respectively. The machine hosting OTRS is just occupying space in the server room and we are planning to migrate OTRS to our usual web server which runs Windows server 2008 and IIS 7.

Before we implement anything on our live web server environment, I want to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of hosting OTRS on IIS.

Please note, that I have already gone through testing this in test environment and works fine, but the test environment didn't have any other website running on it.

I am just curious to know if ActivePerl on IIS will effect the other sites running on it.

A descriptive answer on each of the issues will be highly appreciated and would help others having the same questions.

Thanks
