Web Farm sync using MSDeploy - SSL / Ip address binding question

burtikus — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:53:04 GMT

Hi,

I am wondering if I can use MSDeploy in the following scenario. I am working on a web farm (IIS 6) that had their hardware SSL offload module go down. They had been using iiscnfg.vbs to merge the metabase settings from the management server to the production servers, but now with the need to put SSL certificates on the IIS servers locally, that will cause problems.

What I am wondering is can MSDeploy be used to sync ALL website configuration info (not content, that's taken care of already) with the exception of IP address bindings for the sites and SSL certificate information.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Sync Just ApplicationHost.Config settings?

SQLRocks — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:12:15 GMT

I've got 2 IIS7 Web Servers that are part of a farm with identical configurations.

On one server the applicationhost.config file was completly wiped out and there is no backup. I'd like to sync the configuration from the "good" server to this goofed up server and was experimenting with using msdeploy.

My issue is that I don't want to syncronize the files, I ONLY want the applicationhost.config settings. I can't seem to figure that out, if even possible.

I also tried doing an direct xcopy of applicationhost.config to the server however there are a lot of encrypted passwords in there that won't work on the other server.

Any ideas?

Getting non-Adminstrator user to authenticate with MsDeployAgentService

willundin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:39:44 GMT

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with IIS 7 and Web Deployment Tools.

As the local adminstrator, I am able to authenticate with http://MyServer/MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE and deploy a web application using a command like

msdeploy.exe -source:iisApp='c:\Temp\DeployTest' -verb:Sync -whatif -dest:iisApp='Default Web Site\DeployTest', computerName=MyServer, username=Administrator, password=MyPassw0rd

I do not want (other people/processes) to use the server administrator account for this purpose.I created a different local windows user (not administrator). I made the user an IIS Manager.

I cannot authenticate at http://MyServer/MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE nor can I use the msdeploy string, I get a 401 error, unauthorized, with this new user.

On a whim, I gave the user full control access to inetpub and sub directories. Still No Dice.

I believe I hit all the steps in the videos (like http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/549/setting-up-delegated-administration-server-and-client-experiences/ ) but they used the Adminstrator account for Server access, and I want to use a non-Administrator, if possible. I poked around in IIS Management Service Delegation, but was unclear when these would apply.

So, any tips on spots to check or tweak? I am sure its mostly an IIS configuration issue, but I mentioned MS Deploy in a prior IIS config question over there and was pointed here. Thanks all.

IIS 7.5 with .Net 4 Beta 2 - Do I Need Web Deployment Tool still

willundin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:35:57 GMT

Hi, with IIS 6 and 7 the separately installed Web Deployment Tool allowed within inetmgr/iis manager to select a web site and get an Action group called "Deploy" to Export or Import a Package. This would happily build the manifests to go along with my files.

I now have a system with IIS 7.5 and .NET Framework 4 beta 2 installed (and registered). I kind of assumed all that would grant powershell and ms deploy access; do I need to install Web Deployment Tool as well, to see export/import package options, and in order to be a destination provider of an Msdeploy action, or perhaps adjust some handler mapping?

Thanks

msdeploy cannot find drive on destination server.

sakellariadis — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:50:47 GMT

Trying to push sync content from my source IIS7 box (\\samos) to my destination IIS7 box (\\kimi). Getting an error that the drive cannot be found on the destination.

I installed manager on my source box (\\samos), and the agent on the destination (\\kimi). Started the agent. On the source I ran : msdeploy -verb:sync -source:apphostconfig="Default Web Site" -dest:apphostconfig="Default Web Site",computername=Kimi –verbose -whatif > msdeploysync.log This generated an error: Error: (11/4/2009 5:32:21 AM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer. Error: Could not find the drive 'I:\'. The drive might not be ready or might not be mapped.Error count: 1.

The source computer indeed has the website installed on drive I:, whereas the destination only has a drive C:. I can’t believe that the tool requires the same physical configuration on all destinations, as this would be pretty rare in production web farms, so I must be doing something wrong. Can you suggest what?

problem getting dependencies using msdeploy

djidji18 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:46:29 GMT

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

Problems getting msdeploy to work

OnlyAProgrammer — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:05:10 GMT

Hello,

I spent the past few hours trying to make this work but I failed miserably. And I don't find enough info on the net for this yet!

I am trying to deploy a web application from VS 2010 to IIS 6.0 on my server. VS 2010 only let's you use publish on an https address.

So I installed msdeploy on https://+:8083/msdeploy2/ however I get the message in VS that it is not reachable. (I did check the firewall)

I tried using the main IP of my server and a few others including the one of my VPN with my server but to no avail.

Doing the command "httpcfg query urlacl" on my server I can see that is running.

What can I do to make this work? Can anyone provide a quick step by step to make msdeploy work with IIS 6 and vs 2010?

What does the "+" stands for? When I tried to substitute it with a defined IP the service wouldn't start..

please help!

Using MSDeploy with IIS 7.0 and mixed 32- and 64-bit machines

mikeyfev1 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:07:18 GMT

I was looking forward to using MSDeploy with IIS 7.0 web servers to be able to capture IIS metadata. However, I don't seem to know how to build this command. I want to capture all of the web site metadata and the associated application pool metadata. I do not want to capture the files.

Here is the command I used and the resultant output

c:\build\Phoenix>"C:\program files\IIS\Microsoft web deploy\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:appHostConfig="dev-phoenix.
socsuite.com",computerName=http://web02-d:81/msdeploy -dest:archivedir=WebDir -enableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension
Error: Using a 64-bit source and a 32-bit destination with provider appHostConfig is not supported.
Error count: 1.

So what would the correct command be? Do I have to capture the appPool and webSite metadata separately? I was hoping to be able to simply direct MSDeploy to perform this capture using only the website name. TIA.

Recycle App Pool Using MSDeploy

michael.it — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:20:55 GMT

Is it possible to recycle an app pool on a remote machine using MSDeploy? If so, what is the syntax for such a command? We are using IIS 6, but syntax for IIS 7 would also be appreciated if there are differences between the two.
