MSDeploy doesn't deploy to remote server using MSBuild and Visual Studio 2010
- by user317762
I'm currently running Visual Studio Team System 2010 RC and I'm trying to get the Build Service setup to build my solution and deploy 3 web applications in it. I've created a custom build configuration called Integration and I've setup the "IIS Web site/application name to use on the destination server" on the Package/Publish tab of the Properties for each of the web applications.
In my Build Definition I've set the following arguments:
/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish /p:MSDeployPublishMethod=InProc /p:MsDeployServiceUrl=http://my-server-name:8172/msdeploy.axd /p:EnablePackageProcessLoggingAndAssert=True
However, when I run the build I get the following error, for all three web applications:
Updating setAcl (RightContent).
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(3481,5): error : Web deployment task failed. (Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.)
I don't think this is my actual problem though. This error is occuring after the following entry in the log: Updating setAcl
This is what's causing the error message, but it appears that MSDeploy is trying to deploy to the local IIS on the Build server, not the server I specified with the MsDeployServiceUrl parameter.
After looking at the targets file at C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets, I added the EnablePackageProcessLoggingAndAssert, which adds extra logging. The log shows an emptry string for the value of MsDeployServiceUrl. I also noticed in the target that MsDeployServiceUrl has a lowercase s, which is somewhat confusing because the task name MSDeployPublish has an uppercase S. I tried using it using uppercase, then again using lowercase, but neither worked.
A couple other things to note:
My build service is running as
NETWORK SERVICE.
The server I'm
trying to deploy to is on another
domain.
I also tried adding
/p:username=mydomain\myusername
/p:password=mypassword to the MSBuild paramter list, but that didn't help.
Does anyone know if I'm supplying the correct parameters? Or provide me with the correct ones?
Thanks
