I am trying to use VS2010\'s 1-Click Publish feature to deploy a test site from my laptop to my server. I have the firewall turned off on both machines and the MS Deployment
I was able to fix the same issue when I changed the "Service URL" which uses "Windows Management Service" from:
https://ExampleURL:8172/msdeploy.axd?site=SiteName
to this which uses "Remote Agent Service" instead:
http://ExampleURL
It worked just fine after that.
