It's not necessarily an issue with the configuration export/import There needs to be a prerequiste to this how-to. The first should be to build a site out manually and verify it's working before importing the config else you maybe stuck with a configuration you enabled that's may not even be available. In my case it was as simple as .net and asp roles were not installed. This shortcut for import-export works great. I was wondering if one could just copy the files from the root conifg working server to new server but apparently you can't b/c of the encryption keys.

Just start by using the default administration.config If you try to migrate to Windows 2008 R2 by exporting and overwriting your config files then you will get this type of error because the administration.config has different assemblies referenced.

Do not use the above as the feature is meant for something else. Use IIS web deployment for migrations. This will break the iis config on new server.
