Right after settign up webdeploy on w2k8r2 server i was able to validate the connection. Now when i validate the connection i get the following error.
"Could not connect to the remote computer("server_name") using the specified process("Web Management sErvice") becuase the server did not respond. Make sure that the process ("Web Management Service") is started on the remote computer. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=221672#Error_could_not_connect_to_remotesvc. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal SErver Error.
I went to the link and it says the following:
You can ping the remote machine
That the msdepsvc or wmsvc service is started on the remote server.
Your firewall is not blocking incoming connections of your ports on the destination. If you used the default installation, then it would be 80 for msdepsvc and 8172 for wmsvc.
I have disabled the firewall and AV on both machines and the services netioned are running. Waht else could i chekc? Thanks. The funny thing is that this worked for a while then it stopped.
