This lab document provides instructions for deploying an extranet site created in a previous lab to another server. The objectives are to use the out-of-the-box Site Deployment Management tool to create a deployment path and test its connectivity, and create and start a deployment job. The document outlines 14 steps to configure a content deployment path from the source extranet site to the destination server, test the connection, set the deployment options, and run the deployment job.
