I am researching one-click deployment with Visual Studio 2010, the current deployment process involves zipping up the contents of the IIS folder and taking a backup of the current database before completing the remaining manual deployment steps. This allows us to roll back a deployment, I need to retain the essence of this process if not...
Hi, I'm trying to automate deployment of a site. I started with this article and everything works great from VS 2010.

Hi. Sorry for cross-posting, but I didn't get lucky posting at the IIS forum. We're using msdeploy (or web deploy if you wish) to package and deploy web apps. By declaring parameters package time we can provide values at deploy time (to replace connection strings among other things). The problem we currently face is replacing values i...

we're using the msdeploy service on a development server. I can publish to the server without any problems, however I am a member of the administrators group.

I am using the MSBuild runner in Team city to build and deploy my project to a staging environment. Everything works perfectly except for the fact that it keeps removing my repository folder located in the root of the project.

I've read where it's possible to utilize MSDeploy to install windows services or even performance counters on a remote machine. I see how this can be accomplished using the MSDeploy "sync" from a source directory to a destination directory. Is there some way of actually having the source be the binaries contained within the .zip file i...
Hi, We're using msdeploy to deploy our sites to various environments from our continuous integration server. When the artifacts are deployed manually to the dev site from the command line. The deployment only pushes changed files and is very quick. However, when we push to our test or live environments the deployment copies a lot of f...
I'm successfully using Visual Studio 2010's Publish wizard to publish to a remote site. However when I try to do the same thing over the command line I keep getting the error: Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://example.com:8172/MSDeploy.axd. I'm sure I'm just missing a flag somewhere.. Here are the settings that ...

I would like to install the Web Deployment Handler service on my development machine (Windows 7 with IIS7) for test purposes, but according to the documentation on MSDN (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd722796(WS.10).aspx) it seems like it can only be installed on Windows Server 2008 with IIS7. Anyone knows of a way around ...

I've made successful deployments using the Web Deploy option without the databases (so the site isn't fully working yet). Most of the deployment settings are pretty intuitive, however, I have problems with the Packag...

I'm using VS2010 with the Web Deployment Projects to create a release package for my web application. In WDP I have created some build tasks to for example transform the web.config, create some directories and remove some files.
