Webdeploy Publish Profile password saving

Question

I saved a publish profile into an .xml along wit all the login info. But when i import this XML to another computer and try to publish, it\'ll say that my password is incorrect

Answer 1

Just to add an additional answer, this may be version specific for .pubxml, but you can add these line to ensure visual studio save the password.

Make sure to use the ".\" prefix for a local account, and "domain\" prefix for an Active Directory account.

<_SavePWD>True
