For ASP.NET project MSBuild gives some files in E:\Build such as:

  • TestProjectA.deploy.cmd
  • TestProjectA.SetParameters.xml
  • TestProjectA.SourceManifest.xml
  • TestProjectA.zip

To deploy from Windows 7 to Windows Server 2008 R2 (IIS 7)

Executing command gives following error message:

Command

Error Message:

Info: Using ID 'd1bbee7a-e940-4be1-b41d-1847b3e7022d' for connections to the remote server. Error Code: ERROR_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_TO_REMOTESVC More Information: Could not connect to the remote computer ("[IP ADDRESS]") using the specified process ("Web Management Service") because the server did not respond. Make sure that the process ("Web Management Service") is started on the remote computer. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_TO_REMOTESVC. Error: The remote server returned an error: (550). Error count: 1

Given link suggest to do:

  • Ping the remote machine. *STATUS-OK
  • The msdepsvc or wmsvc service is started on the remote server. *STATUS-OK
  • Firewall is not blocking incoming connections of your ports on the destination. If it used the default installation, then it would be 80 for msdepsvc and 8172 for wmsvc. *STATUS-OK

Both of service are running at target server:

  • Web Management Services
  • Web Deployment Agent Service

What can do now to solve it?
