Cruisecontrol, deployment, folder permissions..

Question

We're using cruisecontrol.net, it builds the version, creates a zip file, then 15 min later, unzips the file on the Integration server. But when the folder gets to the integration server, often, the security permission on one of the folders is totally hosed. The Domain admin and folder owner can't even open the folder in explorer. We reboot and the folder permissions are good we can delete the folder and redeploy the zip file and it's okay.

Does anyone have any idea what or how the folder permissions are getting so messed up? Any tools to use to diagnose/watch what exactly is messing it up?

Answer 1

Have you tried using psexec from system internals to upzip to file on the remote machine rather than the build machine?

Also, it seems to me that rather than unzipping the zip just copy the stuff directly to the remote server. I'm not seeing the reason to zip it and then just unzip it?
