i'm new to the web deployment tool tool so let me first clarify if i can use it in the environment i'm in. i have 7 servers with IIS 6 running on server 2003 - mix of 32 and 64 bit. can i use web deployment tool to sync sites on these 7 servers? every reference to web deployment tool on technet is under server 2008 so i first would like to confirm that i can use it on server 2003 with IIS 6.
if i can use this tool then my second question is related to using the tool. when i try and execute this:
C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy>msdeploy -verb:getDependencies,alltrigger -source:metakey=lm/w3svc/1
i get:
Error: Object of type 'metaKey' and path 'lm/w3svc/1' cannot be created.
Error: The metabase key '/lm/w3svc/1' could not be found.
Error: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Error count: 1.
the server i executed this on is a part of the domain and i'm logged in with domain admin account. also, i have verified that the web deployment agent service is started
any help, suggestions, recommendations, etc. is welcomed.
thanks
