I have a very basic Windows 2008 R2 Web Server running IIS 7.0.

This is just a test/practice server, so I enabled Web Deployment using Windows Authentication.

All was well and I was able to deploy easily from VS 2010 using the Administrator account credentials.

After changing the Administrator account password, I get the following error when trying to deploy from Visual Studio (using the new password, of course):

Error 1 Web deployment task failed... ...An unsupported response was received. The response header 'MSDeploy.Response' was '' but 'v1' was expected. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

If I change the Administrator password back to the original one and try to publish using it everything works fine again. So what am I missing? Am I supposed to do something in IIS after changing the password?

Thanks!
