Deployment Package Using the deploy.cmd File and Web Deploy On Demand.Using the Web Deploy HandlerFor IIS 7 onwards, Web Deploy offers an alternative deployment approach through the IIS Web Deploy Handler. The Web Deploy Handler is closely integrated with the IIS Web Management Service (WMSvc), which is designed to allow users to manage IIS websites from remote locations.By default, the remote agent exposes an HTTP endpoint at this address: can replace [server] with the machine name of your web server, an IP address for your web server, or a hostname that resolves to your web server.The big advantage of the Web Deploy Handler over the remote agent, and the temp agent, is that you can configure IIS to allow non-administrator users to deploy applications and content to specific IIS websites. The Web Deploy Handler also supports basic authentication, so you can provide alternative credentials as parameters in your Web Deploy commands. The major drawback is that the Web Deploy Handler is initially a lot more complicated to set up and configure.In the case of non-administrator users, the Web Management Service (WMSvc) will only allow the user to connect to IIS using a site-level connection, rather than a server-level connection. To access a particular site, you can include a site-specific query string in the endpoint address: example, suppose a build process is configured to automatically deploy a web application to a staging environment after every successful build. If you used the remote agent approach, you'd need to make the build process identity an administrator on your destination servers. In contrast, using the Web Deploy Handler approach you can give a non-administrator user—FABRIKAM\stagingdeployer in this case—permission to a specific IIS website only, and the build process can provide these credentials to deploy the web package. Note the following example is using %ContactManagerPublishPassword%, which is pulling the password value from an environment variable. To successfully execute the script, %ContactManagerPublishPassword% variable must be defined with the correct value.msdeploy.exe -source:package='…\ContactManager.Mvc.zip' -dest:auto, computerName=' userName='FABRIKAM\stagingdeployer', password=%ContactManagerPublishPassword%, authtype='Basic', -verb:sync -setParamFile:"…\ContactManager.Mvc.SetParameters.xml" -allowUntrustedThe Web Deploy Handler provides a useful approach to deployment in staging environments, hosted environments, and intranet-based production environments, where remote access to the server is available but administrator credentials are not.For an end-to-end example of a scenario that uses the Web Deploy Handler approach, see Scenario: Configuring a Staging Environment for Web Deployment.Using Offline DeploymentIn some cases, it's not possible or practical to deploy applications and content to an IIS website from a remote location. For example, the source and destination computers may be in isolated networks or network segments, or firewall policy may not permit remote access.In scenarios like these, you can still use the packaging and publishing capabilities of Web Deploy; you just can't use

Site but don’t want to create a local or AD user account. For example, you might need to provide FTP access to a business partner who doesn’t require any other access to your systems. IIS 7.0 includes a new feature that lets the IIS Management Service have its own users, which are independent from Windows and can be used for authorization to IIS and/or FTP sites.This feature requires the IIS Management Service to be pre-installed on your server, so if you haven’t already installed it, you need to add it from Server Manager. To do so, log on as an administrator and open Server Manager from the Start menu. Then click Roles under Server Manager in the left pane and scroll down to Role Services. If Management Service is listed as Not installed, then click Add Role Services. In the Select Role Services dialog box, select Management Service under Management Tools. Now, click Add Required Features in the pop-up dialog box, Next in the Select Role Services dialog box, and Install on the final screen.IIS Manager users are used primarily for connecting remotely to the Management Service for administration of IIS and FTP. IIS Manager users authenticating to an FTP site is a secondary function of this feature. To configure IIS Manager, open IIS Manager from Administrative Tools on the Start menu. Then highlight your server under Connections. In the central pane, select the Enable remote connections check box and the Windows credentials or IIS Manager credentials radio button, as shown in Figure 4. In the Connections section, select your self-signed certificate (FTP Cert) from the SSL certificate drop-down menu. Click Apply in the Actions pane, and then click Start to start the IIS Management Service. Next, configure the FTP server to accept authentication requests from IIS Manager users. To do so, expand Sites (located in the Connections section of the IIS Manager window) under your server and select FTPSITE1. Double-click FTP Authentication in the central pane and then Custom Providers in the Actions section. In the Custom Providers dialog box, select the IisManagerAuth check box and click OK. IisManagerAuth should now be showing an Enabled status in the central pane.Now that the appropriate features are installed, you can configure some users in IIS Manager. First, highlight your server under Connections, scroll down to Management in the central pane, and double-click IIS Manager Users. Click Add User under Actions. Enter a username (e.g., remoteuser) and password and click OK. Highlight FTPSITE1 under Connections and double-click IIS Manager Permissions in the central pane. Click Allow User under Actions. In the Allow User dialog box, select IIS Manager and click Select. Select remoteuser from the list and click OK twice. Highlight FTPSITE1

Remote Server Administration is one of the key features of the VisualSVN Server and it is designed to give you precision control of your remote VisualSVN Server installations, while helping you avoid the drawbacks of managing servers with Remote Desktop. Remote Server Administration means you avoid the problems associated with Remote Desktop - giving you the flexibility to allow access to VisualSVN Server only while protecting other server applications, the ability to switch between several VisualSVN Server instances with ease, and enhanced performance over that achieved with Remote Desktop. Overview Remote Server Administration allows you to manage remote instances of VisualSVN Server with the same MMC snap-in that is used to manage the server locally. Remote Server Administration is based on Windows Management Instrumentation technology which ensures stability, security and continual high-performance. With impersonation, all administrative actions are performed on the user's behalf, allowing you to audit all changes made to VisualSVN Server. You can also configure refined, customized permission levels if required. Controlling server access Remote Server Administration gives you the ability to grant permissions to manage VisualSVN Server while blocking access to manage other services such as IIS and SQL Server. When you want to grant permission to a new administrator, you simply add them to the VisualSVN Server Admins group. However, you are not required to provide local administrator permission to users who are eligible to manage VisualSVN Server. The user then has permission to manage VisualSVN Server, but not other applications (such as IIS and SQL) on the server. Remote Server Administration removes the need for Remote Desktop permissions in order to manage VisualSVN Server. Managing VisualSVN Servers smoothly If you've tried to work with several servers remotely using Remote Desktop you'll know that switching between servers is error-prone and inefficient. With Remote Server Administration you can customize your management console, creating a single console that allows you to manage several VisualSVN Server instances as well as your entire Windows infrastructure. Install VisualSVN Server on Windows Server Core An additional benefit of Remote Server Administration is that you can install and manage VisualSVN Server on Windows Server Core. Installing VisualSVN Server on Server Core saves resources (less disk space, less CPU time and less memory required) which delivers better virtualization. You also benefit from the decreased maintenance and management requirements and the reduced attack surface. Getting started with Remote Server Administration Setting up the Remote Server
