  Install fails, can't get remote connection Reply Contact I am sorry for taking this space but need a couple of answers.  Understand our context; the company has hundreds of servers yet no naming conventions as to location, OS, or ownership.  That known, I am charged with migrating IIS webs to other data centers, all without a great of documentation or dependencies.  So I want to use the dependency tool. First problem, the installer on each server needs up-grading in order to install.  Inasmuch as I am testing this tool on our system, suggesting an upgrade of installer in order to install a beta tool is a loser until I can prove that the tool is an advantage to our work. So I am attempting command line remote check.  Problem is, no matter my nomenclature, I receive an error message.  For example, when I try this CLI implementation: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Web Deploy>msdeploy -verb:getDependencies -source:met akey=lm/w3svc/861404620 -param:alltrigger,computerName=WYJPAM01.1dc.com Specified source is invalid. The metabase key '/lm/w3svc/861404620' could not be found. Metabase Admin Base Object could not be instantiated.  Perhaps 'IIS 6 Metabase C ompatibility' feature is not installed. Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)) or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Web Deploy>msdeploy -verb:getDependencies -source:met akey=lm/w3svc/861404620 -param:alltrigger,computerName=WYJPAM01.1dc.com -userNam e={domain}\{username -password={password} Unrecognized argument '{domain}\{username} I have tried other variations, each to no avail.  Any suggestions? Thanks, O. J. King

  Re: Install fails, can't get remote connection Reply Contact Are you trying this on an IIS7 machine? If so, you should use the appHostConfig provider instead of metaKey.  For the second issue, your syntax is wrong. it should look like this: msdeploy -verb:getDependencies -source:metaKey=lm/w3svc/861404620,computername=WYJPAM01.1dc.com,username=USER,password=PASSWORD Hope this helps. -Nina This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

  Re: Install fails, can't get remote connection Reply Contact Your reply helped (as in i made progress), but didn't reesolve my problem.  Understand, I am actually wanting to use but a small part of WebDeploy; tat of the show dependencies.  Seems i am charged with migrating sites to a given datacenter.  Problem I am having is the developers have not been keeping dependencies, so I am having to guess in most cases.  And that is why I jumped on this tool, in particular, the show dependencies component.   However, following your revision, I am now getting: "Request to remote agent URL 'http://wyjpam01.1dc.com/MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE' faile d. The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. While vague, I noticed the path to include a directory "MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE".  It, indeed, does not exist.  Is that directory created on install?  And, if not, where does it emerge? Thanks,  O. J.

If you choose the "Complete" option during install, it will install the agent service, but you have to manually start it by typing "net start msdepsvc."
