#Windows 10 cannot remote desktop to server 2012 r2 install
Looks like the best thing to do now is to do a clean install of Windows Server 2008 since I got a messed up VM server image to work with.

Info: Using ID 'a246a13c-7777-4226-964c-fe9934c60b77' for connections to the remĪfter a lot of install/reinstall operations I finally got to a point where Windows Server 2008 is returning a 503 HTTP error when I try to publish the web site using VS 2012 RC or even msdeploy in the command line. Path=c:\test,computerName=,username=User,password=Password Yesterday I also tried the following msdeploy command on my local machine to list the the contents of a folder called test on the server : C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3>msdeploy -verb:dump -source:content If you need any more info, just ask me and I'll provide it. Do you know what's causing this 404 error? There I can see my attempts to validate the connection because they contain my IP address: 20:58:49 185.201.117.17 HEAD /msdeploy.axd site=Default%20Web%20Site 8172 - 189.10.32.194 - 404 0 2 78Īfter trying to get this working for almost 6 hours now (reading a lot of material including this great Troubleshooting guide by IIS team titled Troubleshooting Web Deploy problems with Visual Studio and this related question Visual Studio 2010 Web deployment task failed) I decided to ask for help here and see if anyone has a clue about what can be the problem. Then using Remote Desktop Connection I log on the server and go check IIS logs located at C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1. The required Web Management Service is started on the server and Web Deploy 3.0 RC is installed.

In Visual Studio 2012 RC when I try to validate a Web Deploy connection I get this error message:
