The provided command uses Microsoft Web Deploy (msdeploy) to synchronize IIS configuration for a specific application or site between two systems or environments. Here's a breakdown of what the command does:

1. msdeploy: This is the executable for Microsoft Web Deploy, a tool used for deploying web applications, synchronizing configurations, and migrating sites or settings between IIS servers.

2. -verb:sync: Specifies the action to perform. sync means synchronization, so this command will synchronize the specified source and destination.

3. -source:apphostconfig="TCDiscount": Defines the source from which to synchronize. Here, apphostconfig refers to the IIS application host configuration for a site or application named TCDiscount. Essentially, it targets the site or app's related IIS configuration.

4. -dest:apphostconfig="TCDiscount",computername=XXXXXX: Defines the destination for the synchronization. It also specifies the application host configuration (apphostconfig) for the same TCDiscount site on the destination machine. The target machine's name or address is specified using computername=XXXXXX.

Overall Purpose:

The command synchronizes the IIS configuration for the TCDiscount site from the source machine to XXXXXX, the destination machine. It ensures that the TCDiscount IIS site or application's settings are the same on both systems.

Important Notes:

• TCDiscount must already exist in IIS for this command to work properly on the destination machine (or you must have permissions for creating it if it does not exist).
• Ensure that the source and destination systems can communicate, and the appropriate credentials and permissions are set up for Web Deploy on both ends.
• If XXXXXX is a remote server, it needs to have Web Deploy and IIS installed and configured properly to accept remote deployment.
