TFS 2010 - WebDeploy to IIS6

Question

I have setup a build configuration in TFS2010 with MSBuild arguments to deploy using WebDeploy to a remote IIS6 webserver. I can deploy to this remote web server using WebDeploy manually from VS2010 without issue. But, when I kick off the TFS build it fails with a permission denied error when attempting to deploy to the remote box. I have added the user to the Administrator group on the webserver box.

I found in the security event log that the Domain wasn't set:

Logon Failure:
Reason: Unknown user name or bad password
User Name: tfssvcUser
Domain:
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process: NtLmSsp
Authentication Package: NTLM Workstation Name: TFSServer

When I run it manually the Domain is set. tfssvcUser is a domain user is running as such on the build server.

I am running MSDeploy 1 right now.

Any ideas?

In the end the admin for the TFS box had misread the permissions on the build server and needed to add permissions to a temp folder or registry, not sure which.
