I can't seem to be able to deploy a site to a windows server 2012 r2 running IIS and Web Deploy in Azure VM. I have verified that the port is open, the credentials are correct and the site name as well. I tried using http: and https: also tried using msdeploy.axd end point and the MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE one nothing. Check is the services are running and if I can connect to the machine which at can on port 80 to the default site. Tried connecting from multiple connections I get the same result...

Could not connect to the remote computer ("<computer name>.cloudapp.net"). On the remote computer make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started.

Reset to default

After dealing with this for about an hour now, I figured out how to fix this on my Azure Virtual Machine.

First the obvious

  • Check that port 8172 (if you're using default settings) is open in your firewall
  • Check that the processes MsDepSvc and WMSVC are running.
  • Check that the site name is correct.

Management Service

In ISS, at the root level of the server, check your settings under Management Service. It should have Enable Remote Connections checked: Management Services

Did you download the full package

This was the one that got me, I hadn't installed everything. On the bottom of the WebDeploy page: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy

You can download the full package, and then just install everything.

Nope that doesn't work either. Nothing is working. Nothing at all. I cannot connect using web deploy at all. I've tried quite literally everything.
@NathanMcKaskle It's a long time since I had this issue, but I remember it took me a long time.. Best of luck mate.
Thank you AndréSnede it worked. I was missing the WebDeploy package. @NathanMcKaskle make sure you opened the port from Azure portal

You don't mention if you have an endpoint configured for your Azure VM. If not, make sure you create an endpoint with a private port of 8172.
EDIT: Here is a troubleshooting guide for web deploy that includes the error message you've encountered. Additionally, from my own experience I have managed to mistype the site name and not install .NET and seeing similar errors.

He does say using msdeploy.axd end point and the SDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE one, and nothing
It's the most bizarre thing. I have installed and configured web deploy 100 times on, on premises servers...

Helpful but in the end in our case it was TLS mismatch. Check both machines can do TLS 1.2 if you are forcing it. Have put more detail here https://fuseit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000328595. Cheers
