I'm not an IIS specialist at all so I would need help on how to do this. I looked it up a bit on Google but I find so many different procedures. Is there an "easy" way to do this?

I think this would be better off in a different sub forum, it's not really an IT Job/Degree related question -

I used to use msdeploy, which is a tool from Microsoft. I think Web Deploy is what they recommend now (depending on which version of IIS we are talking about). Go to Home : The Official Microsoft IIS Site to get best practices and detailed instructions for this.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands... -

Depends on your web application / IIS version like boargoe said. The ones I did were easy. I simply copied my whole inetpud folder over to a new server, added a new website (pointing to the web application code), configured the settings within IIS, made my bindings for HTTPS / PKI and I was done. Though MSdploy can automate all of that for you or if you are good at powershell scripting.
Now if you did any Active directory client certificate mapping you will have to perform some SPN commands for that new IIS server and perform some delegation changes on that IIS computer object within AD as well.
