    copied!<p>Please pardon a newbie's question about MS TFS and Visual Studio 2012, I hope I'm using the correct vocabulary. </p> <p>Our shop has recently moved to MS TFS and Visual Studio 2012 to build internal web services for integration. Currently we have a TFS 2010 Server running on Server2008R2 and a Build server on a Windows 7 box, our dev application server is also running Server2008R2. I have been given the job of getting a nightly build and deployment running. I have the build definition working but the deployment portion is not functioning. I have installed Web Deploy on both the dev application server and the build server as per these articles:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kevingao.net/version-control/how-to-auto-deploy-web-application-with-tfs-build-server.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kevingao.net/version-control/how-to-auto-deploy-web-application-with-tfs-build-server.html</a></p> <p>and </p> <p><a href="http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-publishing-technologies/installing-and-configuring-web-deploy" rel="nofollow">http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-publishing-technologies/installing-and-configuring-web-deploy</a></p> <p>We have configured an user, web_deploy_dev in active director and that user is a local admin on the dev app server. </p> <p>The parameters added to the build definition are: /p:DeployOnBuild=True</p> <pre><code>/p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish /p:MSDeployServiceURL="https://PA-APPSRV1-DEV:8172/msdeploy.axd" /* double quotes not in original code */ /p:DeployIISAppPath="DW/DWServices" /* E:\Webroot\DW\DWServices */ /p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True /p:MsDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC /p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True /p:UserName=migp\web_deploy_dev /p:Password=****** </code></pre> <p>I suspect that MSBUILD is not even calling msdeploy.exe as I see no errors in the windows event and application logs, but I do not know all the places to look. I can use a web browser and connect to the service on the dev app server as the web_deploy_dev user from the build server, I receive a web page not found error after inputting user name and PW, but I assume that is to be expected.</p> <p>I am at a loss as to where to look next, I've tried searching the web but nothing I try seems to work. </p> <p>Thank you in advance for your help and input.</p> <p>Roy</p>
