    Fatal: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    Reply Contact

    Hi all,

    When I run the following command:

    msdeploy -verb:migrate -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/145273373 -dest:archivedir=d:\w3svc\12 -failureLevel:Never

    I get the error Fatal: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. What does it mean.....

    Also running the command include: -whatif -verboseLevel:Informational  >msdeploy.log

    I cannot find the explanation of the error. Someone Knows a solution?

    yaminij,

    Thanks for the reply. the problem in the other form did not pass the 'AnonymousUserPass'.

    My problem is that the migration to arrchive directory stucks on: DirBrowseFlags

    first line: Action: Adding archiveDir (archiveDir)

    ........

    Action: Adding child metaProperty (root/AccessFlags)
    Action: Adding child metaProperty (root/AppIsolated)
    Action: Adding child metaProperty (root/AuthFlags)
    Action: Adding child metaProperty (root/DirBrowseFlags)
    Fatal: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 
    Change count: 77629
    Fatal count: 1

    A strange thing is that not al my sites give this error during migration.

    I fixed this error by disable the 'script source acces' on the home directory tab.

    But the following error appears at the next stap:

    Action: Adding child metaProperty (/lm/w3svc/1017621628/root/AccessFlags)
    Fatal: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    Debug: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of

    Hi all,

    found the solution for both problems.

    when you run the migration command with the -debug option. then you will get the error as in my earlier post(s).

    The fix:

    open the 'microsoft.web.deployment.config' disable rule MigrateAnonymousUser
