Recently I attended an interview, where I was asked by a question.
How to update / release new version of Web Application through batches in updating web applications?

He want to issue updates in batches.

As I know, we can update a new version of Web application on IIS Server using
XCopy (Copy pasting the application on IIS server)
Publishing using Visual Studio
Generating a Wizard or by third party tool.

Is it possible to update a web application in batches or batch files?
Or it was a tricky question.

xcopy is functionally replaced by robocopy or Robust Copy. Thins might be the answer they were looking for. It has several options to control your copy operation. Just have a look into the link.
