Custom Provider Web Deploy

Question

Created a Custom Provider based on an example by Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi.

Works on my machine ;) and on the web server (by RDC). But not when using msdploy from another machine.

Msdeploy script:

"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" 
-verb=sync -source:script=script.ps1 
-dest:computerName=webserver,script=script.ps1,username=webserver\admin,password=dmin 
-debug 
-verbose 
-setParamFile:parameters.xml

This is the message I got in the EventViewer on webserver:

MSDeploy.Method: Sync
MSDeploy.RequestId: 81e9fd02-5240-4d96-8c38-7bf18e1b30f3
MSDeploy.RequestCulture: nl-NL

Basically the message is 'The provider 'script' could not be found.'.

Anyone seen this problem?

Answer 1

Ok fixed that.

Restart the msdpsvc and wmsvc services by doing this:

· net stop msdepsvc & net start msdepsvc
· net stop wmsvc & net start wmsvc
