webdeploy

I'm using TeamCity to build and deploy a collection of MVC Applications via msbuild and WebDeploy. In a step previous to my solution build/deploy, I copy an app_offline.htm to the deploy directory so that I can perform SQL updates and other web/solution management steps including the build. One of the setting in the WebDeploy is to delete files that aren't included in the project, or not needed to run the site. This deletes my app_offline.htm file each time. While I understand this is kind of the desired result, is there a way to exclude this file from being deleted from the deployment

We have a web farm environment running IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008R2. We use shared configuration and web storage replication. We tried to install Web Deploy (v3.5) on one of the servers but receive an error message saying that Web Deploy is not supported with Shared Configuration. Is it possible to run Web Deploy in a shared configuration environment? If so how? NOTE: We have figured this out so I am posting the answer here. There is little to no documentation that we could find on this topic so I thought it best to host the info here so the rest of the world can easily find it. Yes Web Deploy

I am setting up TeamCity to deploy our Website Project application (using a *.wdproj) and Web Deploy application to IIS. I have a build configuration that uses MSBuild.exe with the MSDeployPublish to build and then deploy the application. We now want to get the application to deploy to multiple target environments, therefore need a way to supply different settings based on the target environment. I have added a parameters.xml file to the Web Deployment Project, and have verified that the parameters set in here are making all the way through the target IIS server and being correctly applied -

I'm trying to set up a TFS 2012 build definition that will build a solution and deploy several web apps within the solution. I came across this article that seems to address exactly what I'm trying to do and also seems to agree with the solution mentioned here . So I tried implementing the build definition/project configuration as described in that article, but no matter what I do, it seems to be ignoring the parameters I put in the specific configuration property group of the csproj files which look like this: <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'MyConfig|AnyCPU' "> .
