web site development and production servers

I'm sure this is a really easy question but I have the following website
configuration and I am a little confused about the way in which I should
proceed:

Drive N
Server A
which consists of
IIS 6 and SQL server which hosts my website

Drive G
Server B
which consists of
IIS 6 and SQL server

Currently I have created a website in IIS6 and placed all my code into the
site. I wish to move to a situation where I can develop on a shared network
drive N: Server A where other developers can also develop on the site, then
when satisfied deploy the site or just some pages to drive G Server B.
Should I have visual studio installed on Server A and Server B to make this
possible? I currently have VS 2005 only on my local machine not on any
servers. Or would I create a new website on Drive N and then just deploy to
Drive G? I've considered this but get an error

Microsoft knowledge base article 810886. Hosting on a UNC share is not
supported for the Windows XP Platform.

In a nutshell Server A should be development and have all code and Server B
should just possess compiled code.

Any ideas? Or references I should look at? Thanks in advance.

Do not install Visual studio or any development tools on Server, it's a bad
idea which people used to do back in olden days (VB6). All you need to do is
copy all aspx files, folders & bin directory that's it. don't copy source
files.

We are developing ASP.Net apps. We would like to use the Deployment project to create MSI files that would be installed on to the production servers. This will allow us to have our operations department do installs at night easily. The problem I have encountered is there seems to be no way of targeting a specific site on the server. When I try to install it will always go to the first site in the list. Each site has a seperate IP and URL...

I have been looking for some documentation that would support or reject my opinion on Production -vs- Development naming conventions. I believe that each environment should be housed on separate servers with identical names, access, users, stored procs....... If you either agree or disagree with this methodology, I would appreciate your input. TIA, Bill

Hello All, I have been searching for a published document for Best Practices concerning access levels based on roles. Should developers have more than (if at all) select level access to production data? If I understand (from multiple postings) that it is best to have: 1. Development (developers have extensive access levels) 2. Test (developers have restriced access levels) and 3. Production (developers have none or select level access)...

We have an ASP web site done with VB.NET. This website is also checked into SourceSafe. Now we need to move/copy this web site over to a different server - a QA and/or Production server. I am not sure exactly how to do this.... Is there a 'copy' utililty anywhere in .NET or IIS? Do we copy it manually (which files, then)? Do we need to first create a virtual directory and then copy the files from the old directory/server to the new one?...

We have three servers (beyond my development box) in our organization. The first is a testing server that has IIS and SQL Server on it. The second is another testing server that also has IIS and SQL Server. The final is the production box that only has IIS. I develop on my own machine, copy to the first testing server, the code is tested, copy the code from testing 1 to testing 2, the code is tested again, and then copy testing 2 code...

We have been looking at how to develop in a team environment where our servers are all Windows Server 2003 (IIS 6.0) and all our development machines are Windows XP (IIS 5.1).

The model that we are...

(Forewarning, most of these problems and solutions come from being the only developer in a 1 server department with no budget, few resources, unresponsive IT, and non-technical managers, so thats where I'm coming from.)

I know it's a bit like drawing on a cave wall with a charred stick, but I have ASP web applications in production.
