MSDeploy.exe can connect as Administrator, but not any other Windows account

Question

I\'m integrating MSDeploy into my build process, and having problems authenticating. The following command works fine:

msdeploy -verb:sync -source:appHostConfig         


        

Answer 1

As alluded to above, make sure that you are connecting over HTTPS. If you are attempting to connect as Admin, but not using SSL, you get the following error:

Error Code: ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN

More Information: Connected to 'host' using the Web Deployment Agent Service, but could not authorize. Make sure you are an administrator on 'host'.

(Where 'host' is your server name)
