msdeploy (Web Deploy) failing with 401 auth issues

Question

I\'m trying to get msdeploy installed and set up. I\'ve installed the remote service on the web server, but all my tests are giving me a 401 unauthorised

Answer 1

We were facing a similar problem as yours.

For this you need to start the remote agent service in services. We used the PC name because the IP address was giving an error. So try to use pc name, username and password.
